hack attempt detected and IP logged... WHY ON EARTH?

I just found out that for some reason my food blog's side plug-ins are not displayed, when in article mode. Instead (when clicking on an article) there is a message saying
FATAL::XSS hack attempt detected. Your IP has been logged.

see here: http://www.multikulinarisch.es/?/archiv ... essen.html

Otherwise when calling the blog everything looks just fine.

I really do not hack anyone's site. At least not that I'm aware of. Nor did I do major changes in my side-line. Everything worked just fine for 2 years. The only truly new plug-in is the yourcent-badge. Could that cause such trouble?

Is there a way of finding out, which plug-in may seem suspicious? And most important, how do I get my IP cleared from any bad-guys-list?

:cry: desperate greetings,
Peggy

No, but thank you!

I just googled more generally after I couldn't find that weird message in any of the blog scripts.
I now know it has to do with the newly installed counter and found out how to solve the problem.

You may delete this topic from the forum, since it had nothing at all to do with serendipity. Sorry for the hassle and thanks for all considertaions!
