Domain names registered to "Microsoft"



This list is based on a search of the domain name system on 7/12 for organizations with the string "microsoft" in their names. The search turned up a few new, "copycat" hoaxters in addition to the widely publicized one (Danny Khoshnood).

Apparently genuine

These actually seem to be bona-fide names registered by Microsoft Corp., or were names formerly owned by companies Microsoft has acquired.
