It's as simple as that, pretty soon they'll be through the entire list and all this will be forgotten, if you want advice, change your password to something strong and they wont get anywhere with their 5 attempts per ip.

That actually depends on 'preferences', sort options, and how the data is exported. It could be a custom script. So even if it downloads in alphabetical order by username they could still resort by USERID.

Just my opinion but your accusation could have a lot of simpler truths. I don't think thats evidence of stealing.

Whenever I export data I almost always have to manipulate it. It's never in the form I need it to be at export.
