There was apparently a hack attempt on 78.129.133.15 windows reseller server last week which was happily fixed. However since then we've been getting
403 errors from googlebot (in webmaster tools) in both naturally trying to index the
website hosting and even when trying to access the xml sitemap.
This must be an issue for everyone on that server as it's affected all of our domains?
Just trying to get an idea if its a general server issue as support suggested it was because the dynamic ip of my workstation computer might be blocked by their firewall

they come up with some real gems sometimes.
