Hi there..

As some of you may know, recently the security of my website was compromised. They gained access to cPanel and downloaded my forum database. Then, yesterday, they uploaded and posted the "users" table on their website for all to see.

As the database contains sensitive information, I'd like it removed.

Is this something that a DMCA takedown notice would cover? Do I own the copyright to my "users" table?

Any recommendations or tips on how to get it taken down?

If they are hosted "off-shore", they, or their hosts, do not have to respect or acknowledge the DCMA. If you are serious, I would contact a lawyer for advice.
