14. 403 is a server error

Actually the 400 series are all server errors but 403 is kind of a "sorry, wait a bit error" plus other things. I sometimes get them and it is just due to slow communications and I would suppose the hackers are very busy now. Even my iPhone has been getting them...just takes a retry to clear up. Having said that things do change as hackers are trying to get in. Also, they may be doing massive "denial of service" attacks just to be nasty and slow our Internet down.
