[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
Name:    secure.informaction.com
Address: 82.103.140.40
Name:    secure.informaction.com
Address: 69.195.141.178
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.
