We keep an eye on our logs – not out of paranoia, but because experience has taught us that institutions don’t always play by the rules. So when someone searched “Probation” on our site, hit a page that no legitimate user should ever find, and tripped one of our passive honeypot traps, we took note.

What This Tells Us
They didn’t just stumble across something. They used our internal search function to look for the term “Probation” and landed on a bait page I deliberately created to detect exactly this kind of covert activity. The page was never linked publicly, never indexed, and never advertised. It contained no information – just a single sentence: “Unauthorised access has been logged.”
That page triggered a passive fingerprinting trap designed to log the visit silently. And it worked. This wasn’t a casual browser. This was a deliberate, evasive probe by someone who knew what they were looking for and didn’t expect to be seen.
Why This Matters
Our logs confirmed that this request came from a UK-based BT broadband connection, using a mobile browser user-agent, spoofed Chrome headers, and no referrer. The IPv6 address was consistent across three separate hits, all within minutes of each other. The search term, timing, and behaviour all point to one thing: intent.
And given the content they were trying to find – combined with our ongoing legal and safeguarding dispute involving The Recruitment Junction and Probation – we believe this activity was conducted by, or on behalf of, someone linked to a government body. The digital fingerprint strongly supports that inference.
The Reasonable Adjustment Watches Back
We’re not in the business of witch-hunting. But we are in the business of evidence. And when you poke around our site trying to snoop without being seen – especially while we’re actively raising safeguarding and equality law concerns – you can expect us to document everything.
We will be publicly releasing our full reasoning and logs shortly. This isn’t speculation – it’s a matter of public interest, and it will form part of our wider advocacy campaign to expose the systemic failures disabled service users are facing in silence.
This is what happens when you underestimate someone with receipts.
