    Hi,

    The plugin blocks unauthorized access to some files, by displaying 403 Forbidded page.

    This page is the information for potential attacker, that there’s a file indeed.

    Perhaps Plugin should display 404 (not found) page instead of 403?

    403 and 404 HTTP Status errors are an Internet standard error message. BPS uses the htaccess ErrorDocument directive to process those standard errors in the BPS Root htaccess file and redirect the errors to the appropriate BPS logging template. ie 403, 404, etc. You can of course change how you want standard HTTP Status errors to be handled by changing the standard BPS code and using BPS Custom Code to do that, but I think it is better to leave things the way they are honestly. It’s better to know exact errors that are occurring and it does really benefit you to change that kind of “standard” stuff. 😉
