How do I Secure My WordPress Media Files

I have searched around for this, I know we have plugins like Media Vault which is no longer supported. I tried that, but if I go to my page and "view page source", I can still see links to my media files any way, it does not work. Hackers can download any media files.

I don't want to disable right-click, or do watermarks, I just want my media files secured from any download, or anyone even seeing seeing the paths to my files if anyone looks at "view page source", or inspect element.

I know this is a hard one - there is no answer..smiles

Edit: I was kidding, the short answer is don't put your files in WordPress media, put them in the cloud

    Hackers have many other ways to do whatever they want.
    They don't need to hotlink your media files. lol

    At the most, try some Wordpress plugin that hides all the WP details in the web page source. There are such plugins.
