   I got an email the other day from my blog host saying the following...

   Excessive Resource Usage‏
   Exceeded: 159703 > 1800 (seconds)
   Executable: /usr/bin/php
   Command Line: /usr/bin/php/home/public_html/"URL.com"/wp-comments-post.php

   They also said if it is not fixed in 24 hours they will suspend my account! Is there anything I can do?
   Iv changed the permissions on wp-comments-post.php to just owner read/write and disabled comments on the blog.

   Doesn't sound like a hack to me, but maybe some spam bot found your blog and tries to fill it with spam. Install the Bad Behavior plugin and see if that helps. Also you could check your logs and see it it's the same IP all the time and block it.

   Thanks for the reply.
   I've added the plugin and checked the log. There were 2 ip's that used wp-comments-post.php today that were not my ip address or genuine comments.
   I blocked them both in cpanel and WP. Finger crossed.
