    This shouldn’t be anything to worry about – it sounds like the plugin you are using is ‘limit login attempts’ – I often see people trying to break into sites & in my experience they always try with the default username ‘admin’, so as long as your admin username is something other than ‘admin’, this kind of unsophisticated ‘brute force’ hack attempt will be nothing more than an annoyance.
