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.

Yes, I have made a mistake with saying that they are hacked via curl.
I meant that how to prevent from hacking by using curl.

What things should I apply to make my site safe and be sure that nobody
who uses curl will not hacked my site?

Please answer.
I will be very grateful for help

You can't. You can't even tell if the user is using cURL, unless he tells you.

Make your site safe and no one will be able to hack it - with or without cURL. But if it isn't safe, it can be hacked - with or without cURL.
