Image Scraping spam sites hotlinking my images

Anyone ever experienced this? and if you did how did you fix or prevent this. as the links are showing up on my Google search console.

This is the reply i got from google webmaster community

You're right. The site does not work for normal users, but Googlebot is fed pages that contain hotlinked images. This is cloaking, maybe to make it hard for the domain owner to detect they have been hacked.

You can report them for spam.

It was also suggested i disavow the links.

But how do i stop these sites from hotlinking my images? Thank you.
