Someone Is Stealing My Blog Content Again

Not even a month has passed and I’ve found another thief stealing my blog content. This thief is smarter in hiding his/her identity but I’ve a hunch he/she is from China. The article ripped off is my iPhone in Malaysia upgrade from 1.1.4 to 2.0.1.

It seems there is an increase of spam blogs all of a sudden. It’s like some brilliant mentor or Internet marketer is now telling everyone you can make money by copying other people’s content. Saying it’s not wrong to use other people’s content and along the way, I think their participants took using other people’s content literally. Sigh.

Despite having my hotlink protection via my hosting panel enabled, I’ve also installed a WordPress hotlink protection plugin. Upon my own investigation, this new thief is stealing my images via my feeds. It looks like this:

Now, this worries me. Is our feed or WordPress insecure?

P.S: I’m using Feedburner (acquired by Google).
