Some time ago, I had to remove everything from my old subdomain, and move to a different one with more security because some people figured out all my personal info just by knowing my site url. How did they do that?

Yep, quite scarry. I never knew this till after I registered my domain. Anyone on the internet could bomb my house if they wanted to. But they would need a good aim and eye sight since all you see from the air is white.
