I’ve been successfully using this wonderful plugin for about a month. <\/p>\n

Because of a very incessant hacker, I recently changed the settings to block out logins for 24 hours. <\/p>\n

That worked for only a few days. <\/p>\n

This morning, I found the settings had been changed to block out for just 5 minutes. When I tried to change it back to 24 hours, I got the message “Update failed.” <\/p>\n

I solve this by deleting the plugin and re-installing it, but it happened again. This is the case on several of my sites. <\/p>\n

Why does this keep happening? Why do settings keep going back to the original ones? <\/p>\n

Does this mean a hacker can corrupt the plugin or is this an unstable plugin? <\/p>\n

(BTW, Wordfence didn’t indicate the file was changed at all).<\/p>\n
