 * Hello,
 * I am wondering if there is an issue with this plugin or if I’ve been successfully
   hacked. I went to go block an IP that was trying to hack my site and I’m getting
   the error saying you cannot ban yourself.
 * Now the IP address is: 74.63.195.34 which per the IP lookup is in Dallas, TX 
   and I’m in Chicago and my IP is much, much different.
 * Does that mean that my account has been successfully hacked or is this a Better
   WP Security?
 * Thanks for the feedback/looking into issue!
