After checking the backlinks of one of our sites I noticed an increasing large number of them coming from some low quality parasites.

They hotlink images from us and we don't seem to be able to stop this. The problem we're facing is that it hurts our Google image search rankings. In fact, when I put our site name's into google image search, a whole bunch of spammy sites pop up instead of the original source.

Examples of these sites: pornlicias[dot]com, nopeporn[dot]com, nopeporno[dot]com

We tried to disable hotlinking through cpanel, block individual sites through htaccess, as well blocking through WP Security. The images keep showing on these sites even after taking these individual steps.

Any suggestions how we can block these sites or how they even do this?
