Update: Further testing has revealed that the files being scanned were actually on my ereader, not my HD. I am not joking Adobe is not only logging what users are doing, they’re also sending those logs to their servers in such a way that anyone running one of the servers in between can listen in and know everything.Īdobe isn’t just tracking what users are doing in DE4 this app was also scanning my computer, gathering the metadata from all of the ebooks sitting on my hard disk, and uploading that data to Adobe’s servers.Īnd just to be clear, this includes not just ebooks I opened in DE4, but also ebooks I store in calibre and every Epub ebook I happen to have sitting on my hard disk.
The EFF confirms all of my initial report.Īnd just to be clear, I have seen this happen, and I can also tell you that Benjamin Daniel Mussler, the security researcher who found the security hole on, has also tested this at my request and saw it with his own eyes.Īdobe is gathering data on the ebooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order. All of this data, including the title, publisher, and other metadata for the book is being sent to Adobe’s server in clear text.Digital Editions 4.0.1 is released, and does not spy on users.Adobe responds to the ALA (and what I’ve learned since this story broke).Tests show that earlier versions of Adobe DE don’t spy on users.A second confirmation comes in from Liza Daly of Safari Books.Ars Technica independently confirms many details.(Adobe was contacted in advance of publication, but declined to respond.) Edit: Adobe responded Tuesday night. My source told me, and I can confirm, that Adobe is tracking users in the app and uploading the data to their servers. That anonymous acquaintance was examining Adobe’s DRM for educational purposes when they noticed that Digital Editions 4, the newest version of Adobe’s Epub app, seemed to be sending an awful lot of data to Adobe’s servers.

I am assuming that installing over and over hasn’t messed things up (?), it would appear there is no duplicates and the first install did not work either.Adobe has just given us a graphic demonstration of how not to handle security and privacy issues.Ī hacker acquaintance of mine has tipped me to a huge security and privacy violation on the part of Adobe. It all seems OK and should have worked but I'm just wondering which way I should tell wine to launch it so that it does - every attempt just creates that small white spinning disc which suggests something is happening but nothing does. The program is there in my ~/.wine folder where it should be (in a sub,sub sub folder where it installs by default). It seems to have just done the same thing, installed and deleted then replaced. Then I found some links on this Q&A site and installed manually using ADE_4_0_Installer.zip from adobe.

dll files) and re-tried launching it, including through wine explorer.exe. I then re-installed ADE twice (seems to just install over the top of the other installation, deleting then replacing some. I have tried by right clicking and opening with wine browser (didn’t seem right), and a wine application (I have two of these when I right click but neither work).
