 * Hello,
 * I think this plugin is awesome.
    Anyway I have this issue, I do not know if it
   is just me. Basically after more or less 24 hours from plugin installation, attacks
   to my site started again. So I looked for possible ways to guess the new name
   for the login page. I found that the address [http://www.mysite.com/wp-register.php](http://www.mysite.com/wp-register.php)
   is still reachable and the new login folder name can be easily extracted from
   that. As this file (wp-register.php) does not actually exist in my installation
   directory, I assume that the redirect information is hard-coded somewhere in 
   the DB.
 * Any other?

 * Same problem here. Doesn’t work when a wp hacker knows to type wp-register.php
   to find the hidden login url.
