Adobe CS3 users are reporting company's software products silently sending data to a third-party service.
Dan Moren of UneasySilence first posted about the issue on his blog, by using a Mac OS software - Little Snitch, he was able to track Adobe's data snooping.
Adobe software's are being reported to send data to the server at 192.168.112.2O7.net which seem to be a internal network IP, but if you play close attention it is not (notice the .net after the IP), if you try to access the server at 192.168.112.2O7.net a 404 not found page is displayed and the company owning it is Omniture - a web analytic company.
