 * Hi,
    I have had over 500 attempts at login into my site this morning nearly all
   using the admin login name. I was thinking is there a plugin that if anyone tried
   to login using the name admin it would then lock them out either for ever or 
   for so many hours or days. If there isn’t would this not be a good plugin to 
   help stop these stupid attacks.
