I have just two of my sites with WP and they are huge pains in the ass lately. My host (VPS) emailed almost the exact same thing. I think it is a new upselling thing, or maybe now reading this it is because of new attacks. I'll write the rep.
The thing that annoys me is, as a loyal customer why doesn't my plan get upgraded regularly? I shouldn't have the same plan I had 18 months ago.
