 * I renamed wp-login.php to something entirely different with a different extension.
   I left it like that for at least a week. I keep getting spammed with notifications
   of failed login attempts.
 * Today I renamed the file to the original, logged-in immediately and saw on the
   dashboard that I had 5 failed login attempts today.
 * So, this is quite concerning and I have decided to uninstall the plug-in. It 
   feels like the vendor is using fear tactics to sell.
 * Unless somebody can explain how bots going after known entry points can attempt
   a login that would get detected by this plugin even when the entry point is no
   longer available, I’m certainly not going to recommend this plugin.
