My website was temporarily shut down by my hosting provider, and I got a message I've included below. Obviously Jetpack is a reputable plugin, but does anyone know why they would have done this? I'm fairly certain I was using the most recent version. Is my hosting provider just incompetent?
Thanks for any information!
