A lot of the times they haven't actually got your database, nor even a functioning site, but instead they have crawled all of the HTML pages of your site and then uploaded them elsewhere - so they've merely duplicated your available content rather than any security breach occurring.

If they have actually got your database, you really need to work with your host to ascertain how they were able to gain access to your server and database.

I got your point..

I just saw a his users are different and my users are different with name....but contents are same like my contents.

You can block him on server level, just check what IP he's using. If he's using CloudFlare, you need to create a PHP file that outputs the visitor's IP and simply access that file on his domain, and you will get his server's IP.

[duderuud]

You can't. If it's visible on the internet it can be crawled.

so it mean...if anyone want to crawl xenforo.com they can?
no one is secure for that?

@itstuff - have you changed your server passwords?

Not if it’s an open site...

You can turn off all public/guest access and nothing can be seen by a crawler that’s not authenticated to read content.

Is your own computer still safe or maybe compromised?
In the past I helped owners of websites get their computers sound and safe.

"antivirsues" are active you write: how many antivirus program's are employed in your computer?
If you use more than one antivirusprogramm, your Windows is vulnerable!

Avira antivirus is active and firewall is active also and Windows own antivirus is also active..everything is good from my end...

my system is fully secure..

If you haven't already, remove any addons by Briv* (I can't say the entire name here). Those were the addons I recommended could have big security problems.

ok sir I will disable his plugins
we paid them money for add-on so our money is also wasted.

I hope xenforo admins will take some action against his add-on

Their addons were removed from here years ago, and they are not allowed to promote them here either.

 

[MySiteGuy]

They removed him from xenforo.com a long time ago. They also banned him and blocked his name here.

Xenforo did. They removed the addons and banned the user. Trying to type the word results in *******. Zero search results too.

Unfortunately that is a major fault, since there is no search results to show how poor their practices were.
