It seems that someone is attacking the website. Brute forcing the users and passwords to see if they can get access. John added a feature to limit the amount of login attempts to reduce the amount of brute forcing attempts, however if seems that this is also causing issues.

Please take a look at the log from "Limit Login Attempts" Link: https://www.asrg.io/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-login-attempts

Please figure out a way to reduce the attacks, and allow users to login.

Brute-force attacks and lockouts have dropped significantly since patching CVE-2017-5487.
