Schools Broadband and playboy.com

Found some odd entries in our Netsweeper logs going through an "admin" proxy from an external IP.

 

 

 

Nothing unexplained should be going through through that proxy from an external IP, never mind an attempt to access porn. Reported it to my line manager.

 

 

The following day realised these changes had been made in Netsweeper around the same time.

 

 

 

No phone call, no ticket update, no email and currently still no explanation to provide to our DSL as would be the case for a "genuine" attempt to access a safeguarding category. This was a direct hit, not an accident from a poorly crafted search request.

 

One of the IP addys in the above matched the IP addy in the playboy.com log entries.

 

Still wondering why. If it were a testing activity, we would have expected to be advised prior to the activity, and why try to access porn?

Curiously, this doesn't appear in the standard "Safeguarding Report" that SB generate. That's another support ticket I suppose.

 

Would Schools Broadband care to comment?
