 * Good Day,
 * I was wondering if I could get some insight or be guided in the right direction?
 * Running Wordfence free edition, it is great and does a awesome job… however recently
   we have seen an upsurge in blocked IP’s/Countries.
 * Latest Wordfence report shows this:
 * September 26, 2016
    10:35am 192.169.141.76 (United States) Blocked for Directory
   Traversal in query string: img=../../.my.cnf September 26, 2016 10:35am 192.169.141.76(
   United States) Blocked for Malicious File Upload (Patterns) September 26, 2016
   10:34am 192.169.141.76 (United States) Blocked for MailPoet <= 2.6.7 – Arbitrary
   File Upload
 * Should I be alarmed?
 * It is also has our IP under “blocked” attacks – is this possible?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated – thank you.

 * Wordfence is doing its job – it’s reporting it blocked the malicious upload attempt!
