It all began with a post at UNEASYsilence titled “Lies, Lies and Adobe Spies” which caught on to the fact that Adobe CS3 apps were calling out to a suspiciously-crafted IP address. As it turns out, the IP in question-192.168.112.2O7.net note the capital O instead of a zero-is not an IP at all, but rather a domain owned by statistics-tracking firm Omniture.
wow, this is a pretty clever & shady trick.
