Note that 'banning *for rcon hacking attempts*' is just a retarded phrase, it just means they used the wrong password too many times. If you have any kind of sane rcon password, 15 attempts per day is not going to compromise your password anytime this century. RCON uses your server's port (27015 by default) via TCP. All other game comms are UDP, so if you whitelist TCP to that port it wont have any ill effects. I should also note that spoofing one's IP via two way TCP communication is not trivial, and they probably just switched to a different IP.
