It is certainly because of the time sync as you can see in our
dedicated FAQ section:

https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/#index20h2

The mentioned IP is boum.org, which is in our pool for time sync.

Unfortunately I have no idea. Could you eventually give more context
information, more precision on how it happened?

Cheers.
