[zep at nemesis ~]$ nslookup secure.informaction.com
Server: 192.168.10.22
Address: 192.168.10.22#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: secure.informaction.com
Address: 82.103.140.42

Address: 82.103.140.40

Name: secure.informaction.com
Address: 69.195.141.179
and going to www.informaction.com lists off things like noscript and a
few other browser add on sorts of things, I'd tend to think that you
[perhaps the plural 'you', meaning possibly some other individual]
installed one of their extensions [or some other piece of FOSS] and it's
doing a call home to check for updates or do some sort of comparison,
like adblock's blacklist.
no idea where the wonky name comes from.
