“Canary Trap” — indeed, a possibility.
A “Canary Trap” is a clever technique used to identify the source of a leak when sensitive information gets out. The basic idea is to plant unique, slightly altered versions of a document or piece of info among different suspects, then see which version pops up in the wild. It’s like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs—each crumb is different, so when one gets picked up, you know who dropped it. The term comes from the old “canary in a coal mine” concept, where the bird’s distress signaled danger; here, the “canary” is the bait that reveals the leaker.
Sorry but it’s a technique Taylor Swift uses to see which person or employee in her circle is talking to a tabloid 😁
