Unhackable site doesn't exist. However, if hacker needs to use more costs and effort than value of stolen data, then this security in most cases is enough.
If GMs can't stop user, who needs to download many GigaBytes of data every day as logged user, then I think GMs aren't needed in this game at all ;-)

That doesn't change much. Registered or not, you still don't know who's copying skills. So who are you going to ban?

It isn't hard to recognize who's copying skills by automatic robot, you need to analyze history of log and traffic on site.
If somebody do it manually then he gains for his job less than in McDonalds, so he isn't dangerous, in fact he needs our help and support ;-)

If GMs aren't able to stop automatic robot, who collect data by using fake account, than I doubt they are able to prevent to open other fake accounts.
Automatic robot generates specific, artificial traffic on site, which isn't hard to recognize. Please imagine user, who is logged every day (it's needed to scan transferlisted players), who check thousands players on TL every day and... who never bought player, set lineup, etc.

It's nowhere said he's using fake account, and since he has already a huge database he doesn't need to scan transferlist all day anymore.

I don't know what automatic robot you are talking about, but simple web browser plugins won't show you anything.

It doesn't matter, it happens and nothing will change it. Only thing, which could be changed, is to prevent to scan skills in future.

It's nowhere said he's using fake account
This database was created by automatic robot, scanner, script, whatever and no account (legal or illegal) is needed to do it. Currently skills of transferlisted players are visible by everyone, who don't have account in BB. And therefore it's impossible to prevent to scan these skills.

Here is example of another tool, which scan BuzzerBeater and is able to collect skills of transferlisted players:

And it is commercial tool too (Google makes money thanks display content of other sites).
