Description of my issue:

 

Hi. I have a website (for a client) that has a blog on it. Last week we tried to setup a Google Snippet for the author. This has to with lining the Google+ account of the author to the blog. 

Now I get al lot of CRSF Shield warnings. Every few minutes. All from US. Could it be posible this has something to do with de mentioned Google+ snippets/link? Or do these thing have othing to do with eachother? 

Is there an orher possible cause of so many CSRF notices? Is the website heavely under attack?

With regards,

Jip

If Google is trying to access your site using POST requests that's why you get the CSRFShield warnings. Try turning off that feature.
