My site is currently using CP4, which has the option to enable hotlink protection. The problem is, although I have enabled it some sites can still hotlink my images and therefore steal my bandwidth. Is there anyone else with the same problem? Is there anything that can be done about this?

Our users are reporting similar problems. I guess cpanel still has some work to do :)

Same here. Must be a bug which hopefully they will fix soon.

you could try using a .htaccess file of your own. Just googled and found this. Might help you out:
