Meanwhile, I suggest to record invalid password attempts of all accounts (or selected only) everytime (or at least last-10 for each accounts). This may ease staff to see which account is being cracked. Or maybe deliver a private message from System Message to warn that someone is trying to crack that account.

Also how often have you been convinced you had the right password and try 4 or 5 time or more before you finally realise that the CAPSLOCK IS ON
