So again, noone does that. You probably had something else happen but you have no idea what, and your hosting/whoever just muttered up some excuse for a messup, or didn't want to explain to you what happened.
you are wrong again

I am my own management, and I personally looked at the logs of the 24 hour a day attempts on brute forcing the passwords, and I also personally banned the ips of the proxies they were using (they were using a lot). Anyways, they easily have enough proxies for that if the site admin doesn't bother to notice that they are doing it.
