Little Snitch intercepted "Noticeboard wants to connect to swscan.apple.com" Legit?

I have Little Snitch monitor for new connection requests. For the first time, something called "noticeboard" is trying to connect to swscan.apple.com. I assume (hope) this is legit since swscan.apple.com is used for upgrades. But I've never seen it before. I've searched high and low and cannot find what "noticeboard" is. I assume it's some inner workings of the OS, but would love to know for sure. Thank you.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Technically it's part of the Mac App Store, so that would put it under "Software/Firmware Update".

OK, sent. Do you think it would be worth filing a radar about as well, or do those just go to the same place as the feedback form does?

Yes, it would always be worth filing a Developer Bug Report as these get tracking numbers, allow additional information to be provided and get more attention than the feedback forms do, even if by some chance they end up in the same place.

I know this is from a long time ago, but...FYI...

I just walked up to my puter and saw that it had awakened from sleep on its own. I said to myself, "Hmmm. Why'd it do that?" I checked Console, and...
