I get really irritated with companies that put absolutely no effort into cleaning up their services on their own. When nearly 20,000 of No-IP's accounts are being used for malicious purposes, crying about how Microsoft didn't give them any warning just makes them seem incompetent. There was another article recently on HN about some free tunneling service whose creator tried to automate account shutdowns whenever his ISP sent a complaint letter, which I found to be similarly annoying -- these services are essentially forcing other companies to spend money to do the work that they themselves should be doing.
IMO No-IP is responsible for its legitimate customers' outages. Waiting around for other companies to do your job for you will result in ham-handed solutions like this one.
