 * This plugin does not block the bots that are trying to hack my wp-admin. I still
   find reports in my logs for brute force attack attempts.

 * the more important question for you is: were they able to actually *hack* your
   wp-admin, or did they just throw a bunch of traffic its way?
 * this plugin is not intended to prevent every form of attack, but minimize the
   risk of fake interaction (such as comments and logins) *succeeding* on your site.
   brute force attacks should be handled by htaccess rules, content request filtering
   and similar server-side controls. this will prevent brute force attacks from 
   succeeding to login, but it won’t prevent their bandwidth and resource consumption.
