How do you know he is a hacker? Hm?
Don't assume.

He may have attacked you, THEN went into protection (he may even had gotten attacked at some point after he attacked you)

Actually, it does sound like a hacker. So its safe to assume so for at least invetigation. If his damage protection says anything under 23 hour and some minutes (say 17 hours) it means he's been in it for 7 hours already and UNLESS he attacked 7 hours ago or earlier, he is in fact attacking under protection.
Whether its a glitch or he's cheating or a misunderstanding, that's up to admins to find out.

He attacks you, then BUYS damage protection. It's what I do when I absolutely fail at a looting attempt.

How do you go into damage protection for one hour? you cna buy it with coins? how is it even cost efficient?

You buy them with 32 coins. It only lasts a day though...

The above user is incorrect. If you attack 4 times in a row without pushing the opponents base over 50% damage, they will get 1 hour of protection.

As for the hacker claim, please do not claim such a thing! Consider ALL the possibilities before claiming this. From what I gather, this guy attacks you, then goes into damage protection. What we are left to ponder is this: Is he buying protection? (The one day protection has a 5 day cooldown by the way)

How would you know he's under protection? When you are under attack, you cannot view your map. I gather you saw him under damage protection after you went to repair your yard. How long ago since he attacked you did you check to see if he was in damage protection? Did you view his yard? He may have been attacked.

Edit: I looked at your profile, it seems to be resolved.
