CBFSHC on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] attempted login using username "test""

Similar problem started late yesterday. Had Wordfence set to send email notifications on attempted login with invalid user name. Hundreds of attempts with same invalid user name, all from different IP's. Wordfence sent the email notifications as it was set to do. Hundreds of them in a short period of time. Triggered Network Solutions to suspend the hosting package due to too many emails from FormMail script. Currently trying to get site reactivated, very slow and frustrating process with Network Solutions. Plugin did what it was supposed to, Network Solutions does not differentiate or notify prior. Ironic that a security protection ended up causing a problem. Would be better if hosting provider appreciated our use of the Wordfence security plug-in and differentiate, so as to allow an adjustment to the plugin options before shutting down a hosting package with many sites. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
