It seems to happen more often at night from what I've known. I'm not sure exact specific times yet though but most often when surfing either the forums or adding new anime/manga entries.

I got this message too. In another thread I already wrote about it. In addition to that, like other's said, it's coming randomly and mostly it's in the evening or night. And when it comes it takes a while until it's over.

Got a bunch about 15 hours ago. I tried to visit threads, my profile, and some anime description pages. 403 popped up literally ever other time I tried to visit a MAL page. I'm not joking. Every other time. It was a pattern. It works once then I get a 403 if I try to refresh the page. I refresh it again and it's fine.

I use Windows 8, i7, gt635m, 8gb RAM.
