Plaintiffs Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and NGO Information Sharing and Analysis Center (“NGO-ISAC”) have sued Defendants John Does 1-2 associated with the Star Blizzard cybercriminal operation and domains listed in the documents set forth herein. Plaintiffs allege that the Star Blizzard Defendants have violated Federal and state law by hosting a cybercriminal operation through these domains, orchestrating a sophisticated spear phishing operation, impersonating victims and victims’ contacts to trick the victim into sharing login credentials, using the login credentials to infiltrate email systems, and exfiltrating sensitive personal and commercial data and have committed intellectual property violations to the injury of Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ customers and member organizations. Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction directing the registrars associated with these domains to take all steps necessary to disable access to and operation of these domains to ensure that changes or access to the domains cannot be made absent a court order and that all content and material associated with these domains are to be isolated and preserved pending resolution of the dispute. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction, other equitable relief and damages. Full copies of the pleading documents are available at www.noticeofpleadings.com/starblizzard.
