To prevent this people usually use paid plugins to secure the login page some people change the URL completely which is great because now it is an extra layer of security for hackers to find the URL for login.
You can also add login limits so that a hacker does not have a chance to attempt multiple times. What you can do is, have limited login attempts and if the limit exceeds, lock the user for a certain amount of time. Thay way, it will be frustrating for the guy who does not have a password, and most probably the guy will lose his will to hack into your site.
