Microsoft is strong with domain speculation

On March 14, Microsoft said it had begun a series of lawsuits against domain speculators targeting its brands for fraud.

According to Microsoft, the company launched four civil lawsuits in the US and five lawsuits in the UK, accusing domain speculators who have registered website addresses such as " winowslivemessenger.com " and " www.micr0soft. " .co.uk "to trick users who have no access experience.

These websites are all equipped with a promotional engine with a click to make their owners profitable. In addition, speculators of this type often resell domain names to a legitimate company after a period of exploitation to legalize income sources.

" These websites often create confusion for those who want to access real sites, negatively impacting the business reputation as well as adversely affecting the user's surfing experience ," the attorney said. Microsoft manager, Aaron Kornblum, said.
