WordPress media uploads displaying 403 error page
It seems all new media (picture) uploads on my WordPress blog are appearing as broken links. This started happening before I upgraded to version 3.8.1 but I didn't have a chance to address it.
When I try to access the uploaded picture directly, I come to a "Error 403 - Forbidden" page. Here is an example:

The strange part is, previously uploaded pictures unaffected; I do not come to a 403 error page. Here is the last uploaded picture before I started running into the 403 error (uploaded 11/18/2013):

What have I done so far?
I checked the upload path folder (i.e. media) permission to ensure they are 750 and file permissions were 644.
I removed hotlink protection from the cPanel but that hasn't resolved the issue either.
Would you be able to help?
