Tom's Hardware Treating NewsBlur Fetch like a Suspicious Bot

question
#1

Getting this message from a Tom’s Hardware feed I have had for awhile: “Due to suspicious activity from your computer, we have blocked your access to http://www.tomshardware.com. After completing the CAPTCHA below, you will immediately regain access unless further suspicious behavior is detected.”

Any ideas on what is going on and how to resolve?

I’ve seen this happen before. Just email the publisher and they’ll be able to add newsblur.com to a whitelist.

Ok, I emailed them.
