Imagine my shock when I was directed to this page on signing in to my blog admin area:

Error 403

We’re sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /wp-login.php on this server.

Your Internet Protocol address is listed on a blacklist of addresses involved in malicious or illegal activity. See the listing below for more details on specific blacklists and removal procedures.

Your technical support key is: …………

You can use this key to fix this problem yourself.

If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, please contact “my email address” and be sure to provide the technical support key shown above.

However the panic was short lived. I copied the first sentence, did a search on this and found the answer I needed.

The cause was an error on the Bad Behaviour wp plugin server. Installing the new version of the plugin fixed the problem.

Thanks Meg for alerting me to this (Meg was informed that she was blacklisted too when she tried to comment on my site)

If you have been the victim of this too head over to Bad Behavior 2.0.11 and install the new version.

And DON’T PANIC!

(My heart rate has now returned to normal, just)
