Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Y
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Y
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Y
Joomla! version: (2.5.9/10)
PHP version: (5.3.23)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (Heart)
Admin Tools version: (current)

Description of my issue:

On two different sites of mine now, when I go to login to the backend I have seen a new page pop up that I've never come across before. I've searched Google which produces no information except for a few Wordpress sites showing a similar screen.

I don't think it's Admin Tools showing the new page but I'm asking just in case it is or if anyone knows where it's from - basically it's a Captcha form with a message saying that an increased number of login attempts have been made and that I need to verify I'm human: (see image).

I do have Admin tools checking IPs and whitelisting and get the normal emails when an attempt at login is made. This has so far happened on a J2.5.9 & 2.5.10 site. I can't recall any extension I've installed that would be doing this, possibly sh404sef I suppose?

Any ideas?

You have guessed it right. This is not a page produced by admin tools. In fact, this is a page produced by service called cloud flare. It looks that you have enabled the service on your sites. Or, alternatively, your host may have enabled the service on all sites by default. As a result, we unfortunately cannot help you.
