Now I'll post some equally scary Azureus news... this was taken from BitMeTV's forum:

AZUREUS
AZ has started a new commercial branch called ZUDEO which identifies itself as AZ 3.x.x.x, and had claimed that 2.5.0.2 was the final 2.x.x.x stable that would ever be released, and all future versions would identify themselves jsut like zudeo, as AZ 3.x.x.x. this raised concerns because we would not be able to tell if a member was using ZUDEO or AZUREUS, and we want nothing to do with zudeo, since we feel it is a security risk, and because zudeo identifies itself as AZ.

Azureus claimed that zudeo was simply a different user-interface for AZ, but zudeo incorporates DRM, and has alligned itself with people/organizations that end with initials **AA. While investigating zudeo, two of our admins, system & ibslice discovered that packets of data were being sent back to AZ, and when confronted, AZ devs at first denied, then said it was only anonymous info about how the client was working, then our staffers discovered that the packets being sent back contained your total UL stats, your total DL stats, and your ISP name/info. We replied to AZ with this information, and in a seeming panic, they did two things:
1. admitted privately that this had been going on with ALL recent AZ stable releases for the last 12 months
2. immediately put together and released AZ 2.5.0.4. to fix the problem
Who knows what other private data on you they have aquired, and if they do indeed keep this data confidential?
