Chris Borgman on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] DO NOT add your username to ignore!! HACKED!"

All my other sites I leave this blank: Options > Live Traffic View > List of comma separated usernames to ignore: _____________ So when Live Traffic > Logins and Lockouts they always try "admin"

But...

for one site I added my username and now ALL the lockouts are using my actual username, not admin, not once. WOW! I also have other Super Admin users but the only one used is mine!!!

So that means they've been able to hack in and find the username set to ignore and attack only that one.

This hole needs to be addressed right away!!!! I hope the author sees this.
