Microsoft, a private corporation, appeals to the federal rules of civil procedure to authorize technical steps (a legal hack?) to stop a cyber threat.
"a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order cutting off 277 Internet domains believed to be run by criminals as the Waledac bot." See official Microsoft blog post.
This lawsuit case shows that the civil judicial system has a role to play in limiting the impact and damage caused by Internet crime like botnets, phishing and identity theft.
