Been around since at least 2005-7, apparently. No clue as to UA(s) beyond: Web Agent Builder 2.x, etc. But methinks their customers, a.k.a. anonymous scrape-n-save spies/thieves, may have to touch base with the Mothership...

"[A]n error message that says they are unable to connect to the Mozenda Servers at this time. We have noticed that the majority of these cases are a result of the Agent Builder not being updated."

So, looking/linking around for --

mozenda.com [Orem, UT] [prweb.com...]
née
infosquire.com [Orem, UT] [fundinguniverse.com...]

(Also: Oct. 2011 cache re 74.55.15.210 [webcache.googleusercontent.com]: "Infosquire.com and web11.mozenda.com point to the same IP")

-- yields these Usual, long block-worthy, Mothership-hiding Suspects --

secureserver.net
theplanet.com

-- and this confirming bit:

"All data in the Mozenda system is secure and is hosted in class A data warehouses..." [prweb.com...]

So-o-o-o -- block Mama Mozenda's hideouts, block her scraping babies. Maybe:)
