Thank You for Care .. from everybody for this case ..
I know that talking about Fedora as a backdoor container makes us angry .. But we must be
careful about these sensitive issues.
As a reply :
My friend didn't have enabled auto-update.
He completely Surprised of un-human-authorized connection by fedora.
He disabled these actions by :
sudo echo 127.0.0.1
6-55-236-85.rev.customer-net.de >> /etc/hosts
As a Fedora Developers .. We must be Transparents
Kind Regards

Hi Mosaab,
Fedora uses a mirror list service. This service tells the Fedora
updater where it can download updates. Please tell your friend that
this is completely normal. In fact, it is required to keep his Fedora
installation up to date and secure.
