To someone that could give knowledgeable assistance,

We've come across a problem with a particular website that is hosted purely to teach users how to hack and modify our game. Our game is a very popular Android application, titled Pocket Empires. The website that is made solely on the intent to destroy our property, and steal our code to make what is known as 'emulators' to hack into our systems.

This website is also conducting in fraud and theft, because it is requiring donations from our users, and our the user will be guaranteed glitched troops. However, we have recently patched one of our most popular glitches. But some still remain.

Our product is copy written.

I hope to have some assistance on, first, IF we can combat this problem. If you believe so, we'd then like guidance on how to go about it. We're a small company, 4 staff members, serving close to 2 thousand android users.

The term is COPYRIGHT, as in the right to copy, not copyright.

Copyright protections are limited to making unauthorized copies.
It has no bearing on protections on people hacking your game (except to the extent they are making illegal copies).

If this is a standalone game, as long as the cheats don't involve making copies, I don't see you you are going to stop it.
