 * Yesterday Wordfence advised me that someone called admin had logged into four
   of my sites. (None of the sites have admin as a username.)
 * The sites had all been hacked and a trojan left behind. All sites were on the
   same server. As they were only a few weeks old and not developed. I completely
   deleted all four sites.
 * wordfence did its job by notifying me of the access but it was not a hack in 
   the normal sense. They logged in using a username that does not exist on the 
   sites and never has.
 * The IP of the culprits (Bangladesh) is 103.230.5.74, others may wish to add it
   to their blocked IP list.
 * I have no idea how they were able to use admin as a username.
 * Best regards Peter

 * Are you sure that this vulnerability was exactly in this plugin?
