Mark my words, this is a story that’s about to explode…
(From Uneasy Silence)
When you launch a CS3 application the application pings out to what looks like an IP address – and internal IP address: 192.168.112.2O7. That makes sense, right? Adobe wants to be sure you aren’t running multiple copies of their programs
Except it’s not a local network address, it’s a cleverly disguised internet address owned by a company called Omniture. Normally this kind of thing wouldn’t bother me, but the fact that Adobe chose to hide the address being used in this manner will lead many to assume its use is nefarious and cry foul. This has “Sony root kit” written all over it.
