So were these files somehow scrubbed from the Internet? Or is peoples private info still out there?

It seems the Internet does have a delete button. Has it been used again?




No, you can't get rid of those files, they were uploaded in their entirety to anonymous file sharing services. It's absolutely horrible, and the damage to these people's lives is huge. The degree of lack of empathy that you'd need to have to blackmail the customers of an institution like that is one I have trouble comprehending.
