I'm using RSFirewall! 1.4.0 Rev 47
Joomla 2.5.9

Today, 2 of my publishers login name are changed to "admin" and their password are changed to something that i dont know. I have to change them back.

This suspicious kind of "attack" happened before [2 times in 1 month] and not only publishers, "super user" login name and password were changed to "admin".
It forced me to use anti-hack software like this RSFirewall.
Now it happens again. This time login name and password of super user is safe thanks to Lockdown feature which is "Protect the following users from any changes".

Anybody knows what happened?
(before this happened, i installed "cache cleaner" from NoNumber and Roksprocket from Rockettheme)

How to include "publisher" user into protection?
