After confiscating 22 domains from hosting service No-IP earlier this week, Microsoft has announced today that it has restored control of the seized domains to the hosting provider.



From WPCentral:

Microsoft took control of 22 of the most popular No-IP domains last week stating that malware creators were using some of the subdomains to infect millions of machines with malware. Although the software giant received the go-ahead from a court in Nevada, No-IP mentioned that Microsoft failed to communicate the situation clearly with the domain hosting service, which led to over 1.8 million of legitimate connections going dark.
