Adobe, Omniture and Snooping - Oh my!

January 3, 2008 · No Comments

Ars Technica posted an interesting article Dec. 31st about a little snooping Adobe and Omniture was up to:

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.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.  Unfortunately - the company I work for is connected to Omniture via a vendor.  Hopefully there will be more behind this, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.
