How to stop hotlinking of attachments?

Hi all,

I have found my attachments showing up linked directly to the image on my site by using the attachment id such as: domain/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10132&stc=1&thumb=1&d= 1199614379

I have set it so that only registered users can see attachments but it seems its possible for a registered user to see the path and then post that path on another site and letting my site display it on that site. It shows both thumbnail and full size picture when clicking on the site who hotlinks my image.

Any way to stop that and have a specific image show up instead or even shut it off so it will be impossible to link my images directly?

Hope you guys have some suggestions
