Hello all!

Can you write me some code which let me sleep calm during the night
and what should I do to prevent some attackers from using curl function?

In Poland there is a big portal which become famous and some attackers
attacked it by using curl function and get all data about users.

Can you wirte me what should I do to prevent my portal from such attack?

Maybe id session regenerating is one of the thing which I should apply after
new login?

Thank you in advance

Well, nothing special about curl.
It is just PHP's way of making http requests.

If the portals are hacked, they are NOT HACKED via Curl, but just USING Curl.
The portals were unsafe to start with.
