It means they tried 100 times from that IP AFTER it was suspended.
They wouldn't have gotten in even if they chanced on a valid user/pass,
so those 100+ attempts were a waste of the attackers time. (Which is
what we want, for them to waste their time on something that can't
succeed, rather than doing something else which could succeed.)
