I don't think I could possibly disagree with you more.

It is in no way No-IP's job to protect Microsoft from malware yet by all accounts they employed both automated detection as well as a (very timely) manual reporting option. How can you possibly sit back and claim they're "incompetent" when you have absolutely zero knowledge of what happened within the company to address this issue? Microsoft wants to complain No-IP wasn't doing their job to their standards as if how they feel about it matters in the slightest.

Oh, and from the numbers I saw it was 12,000 accounts were deemed to be complicit in malware distribution by a 3rd party security firm. Another user posted they have ~4 million accounts total. If those numbers are accurate that means only .003% of total accounts had anything to do with malware; Sounds like a damn good job from the No-IP guys to me.

Even if you manage to delude yourself into thinking Microsoft is in the right in their domain seizure then you still can't justify the sneaky way they approached this with no forewarning to No-IP customers or even No-IP themselves. Had they actually established a dialogue maybe I wouldn't be experiencing any outages since they could have actually set up sufficient infrastructure in advance to handle the No-IP server load.

And yes, I actually used No-IP domains myself for completely legitimate purposes and am still unable to make use of any of the seized domains. No-IP is absolutely not responsible for this, that blame falls 100% on Microsoft and I honestly think you'd need to be misinformed or a Microsoft employee to feel otherwise.
