Out of court settlement. Microsoft and No-ip both issued press releases/updates to their original blog posts about it.

No details about the settlement were released but No-IP certainly got paid.

Details are obviously not public, but noip did not receive any money as a result. Regardless of popular opinion on the matter, Microsoft managed to get a lot of harmful malware shut down.

I bet Microsoft could shutdown all kinds of malware if we all just allow them to continually monitor all of our computers at all times....
