The attacker was blacklisted (and blocked) in (1), so the attacker was
disconnected by the firewall. Disconnects also cause sshd to log the
message you saw, which SSHGuard saw and warned that an attack was
recognized, even though it assumed the attacker was already blocked.

You can safely disregard this message. The purpose of this message was
to warn when the firewall failed to block, in which case lots of these
messages would appear.

Best,
Kevin
