    Of a hacker using my exact username and guessing a pass, which of course after 3 trys blocks their IP.

    What I want to know is – how are these hackers capturing my unique username in order to give it a go?

    I see lots of the usually stupid lock out attempts: login, admin, domain . . .

    But right after I have to login and add content I see a couple tryout out my username. I do not log in as admin, and my passwords are very complicated and long. But I want to plug this hole in WordPress.

    Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated ~
