 * hello,
 * how to block somebody with different IPs every minute and always with this username:**[
   login]**
 * [[
 * I think its a shortcode for a bruteforce attack. The option “Immediately block
   the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames” doesn´t work.
 * Here you find my options:

 * Hey [@chekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chekki/),
 * I’ve spoken with the team about this.
 * This is indeed likely a brute force attack. The reason you’re not seeing the 
   block is that the bot that’s attempting the attack isn’t entering a password.
   If they don’t attempt with some type of password the Blocking of specified usernames
   isn’t enforced. We’ve seen this a few times before, and it seems it’s really 
   just a badly (thankfully) bot script. But rest assured, Wordfence will block 
   attacks that do attempt with a password.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
