Leopard phones home?

Steve, I really don’t like this.

One Microsoft is enough Steve. Let’s leave this kind of stuff to that company sitting in Redmond and let’s stay fair and square. Thanks.

    UPDATE: It appears from Digg comments that verbose booting shows this is Back To My Mac communications and that machines without any .Mac preferences don’t send anything. Mystery mostly solved, although we still don’t know for sure what’s in the HTTPS packets. Additionally: Chris Holland points out there’s a chance this might be NAT-PMP traffic. The moral of the story is guard your COMSEC well with tools like Little Snitch.

    Outra coisa engraçada é que só agora (ontem) o Little Snitch foi actualizado para o Leopard.
