Heya!
I have been informed that one of my friends game’s (and mine) have been stolen and leaked (including scripts). Is there any way to stop this?

First, everyone will probably say this but don’t uncopylock your games. Second, if it is not that then you may have found a hacker.
Simply put this: They read every game data and then copy it, or also save it as a roblox place and then the hacker can open the place and everything is there.
Thirdly, its probably one of your friends stealing it, im not trying to be harsh in here but its possible.

If your game is a small game I can see that this is a huge issue.
However, game icons, thumbnails, and descriptions are always being stolen from other popular games. Some games disguise themselves as a popular game. This is kinda normal since there are so many copies that are mass-disliked, but I have no idea what to do if your game is a small game.
I think @J_lukasval has a point.

Probably cant take DMCA Action and it wouldn’t be worth it.
I see your point with the scale of the game. But i spent alot of robux hiring people so its just a loss of funds

Ok so.
In “old” roblox, there was a time where hackers could copy games via executors just like you said.
They can look in any script in the game, and i mean anything. Even if it is useless, its still being seen by the hacker.
I don’t know much about the process of stealing roblox places but just imagine that you have your own unique paper, you publish it on a image sharing place and then someone copies that.
The easy way to avoid this is just, be more alerted and when you catch something off then you should move on and solve it on your own.

if you mean local scripts/assets then any person can get them because it exist in his device

you can see alot of popular games being stolen and have many copies in roblox like psx
you canot stop this but you can report the users who steal your game assets
and it will still be hard for them because they will need to make server scripts to make the game work
and they arnot called hackers they are called “Exploiters”
exploiters : people who dawnload a executer which is usually a malware/rat/trojan etc so they could extract / modifie the game data and that is is against TOS
Hacking is another different thing and has nothing to do with exploiting most of the exploiters /people know nothing about hacking (me included)

my friend spoke to the exploiter a while ago and he said there is a security script

Did they steal any server sided scripts/assets? Cause if so you have a problem but if not there really isn’t a fix

yes they did annoyingly, apparently he used an executor
It must be more than just an executor if they are taking server sided scripts, these things shouldn’t be made accessible to the client.
Honestly have no idea how they did this, so sorry, I can’t help you on this one.

Do you have any suspicious plugins that may have stolen your game? I’ve seen something like that before otherwise it was most likely someone with access to the game that stole it.

Place everything that the client shouldn’t have access into ServerStorage.
Local scripts & module scripts can be stolen if the client can see them so be careful where you put those.

whatever the executer was it canot make him steal any thing in serverScriptService or server storage all of the executers do the same thing which is executing code on the user`s machine or reading it
its either you had a vulnerability in your local script/remote events which made him able to see the server scripts or someone who have access to edit your game copied it
