Plaintiff Microsoft Corporation
(“Microsoft”) has sued Defendants Duong Dinh Tu, Linh Van Nguyen (a/k/a Nguyen Van Linh), and Tai Van
Nguyen, who are associated with the Internet domains set forth in the documents referenced in this
communication. Microsoft alleges that Defendants have violated Federal and state law by hosting a
cybercriminal operation through these Internet domains, causing unlawful deception of and intrusion into
Microsoft’s computer systems; and intellectual property violations to the injury of Microsoft and
Microsoft’s customers. Microsoft seeks a preliminary injunction directing the registries associated with
these Internet domains to take all steps necessary to transfer these Internet domains to Microsoft’s
control and/or disable access to and operation of these domains, to ensure that changes or access to the
Internet domains cannot be made absent a court order and that all content and material associated with
these Internet domains are to be isolated and preserved pending resolution of the dispute. Microsoft seeks
a final judgment and permanent injunction, other equitable relief and damages. Full copies of the pleading
documents are available at the links below.
