 * Hello,
 * I am quite happy with this plugin, so first of all, thank you 🙂
 * I have used this plugin to keep an overview over activity on the blog. I do see
   that from time to time I get spammed with failed attempts to login. When these
   happen from the same IP I can block it using the blacklist, but sometiems I also
   get multiple login attempts sequentually timestamped, but from different IP’s.
   These are harder to block without setting the max failed attempts very low (incconvenient
   for the actual users). However, it occurs to me that all of these attempts seems
   to go for a standard set of usernames, based on default values or domain name
   used for hosting the site. Therefore, to counter this issue even further, I was
   wondering if it would be possible to include an option for defaulting login attempts
   using certain loginnames directly to the IP blacklist (basically blacklist them
   on first attempt)?
 * E.g. assuming you have changed the default username ‘admin’ to something else
   and no user is using anything like this as a username, this would be a perfect
   username to automatically blacklist. Same goes for {domain} or {domain} excluding
   tail (.com, .ue etc.).
 * At least I would find this very useful 🙂
 * Regards
    Aprox
