Plaintiff Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) has sued Defendants John Does 1-2 associated with the Internet domains listed in the pleading set forth below. Microsoft alleges that Defendants have violated Federal and state law by hosting a cybercriminal operation through these Internet domains, causing or attempting unlawful intrusion into Microsoft and Microsoft’s customers’ computers, computing devices and/or accounts; and intellectual property violations to the injury of Microsoft and Microsoft’s customers.

Microsoft seeks a permanent injunction, other equitable relief and damages. Full copies of the pleading documents are available at www.noticeofpleadings.com/maliciousdomains.
