As an update.
This did not stop the attack,
adding to htaccess:
<files wp-admin.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from my.ip.add.ress
</files>
Also I tried deleting wp-login.php, but still am getting notifications from Life Traffic:
Kennesaw, United States attempted a failed login using an invalid username "admin".

I'm not sure how that is possible...
