Not just irresponsible but illegal.

There is personal information covered by the Data Protection Act and how they obtained it is totally irreleavent, I am sure teh Data Commissioner would like to hear all about it.

I've just had a look at the data file and for myself and a few friends it has everything needed to find us.

I've contacted Google to requested the file removed and website blocked, lets see if anything happens. I've
also sent the details onto my local force as well. Again lets see if anything happens?

I followed bobbob instructions and there is a link on the page.

It's in CVS format hosted on a Google drive account.

Lets see if Google remove it?

Just a thought......is it legal to access/download the hacked database, even if it's only to check what they have on you?

Unfortunately how else do you verify that your information is on there?

My address is not on there but the post code and my name would not make it too difficult for some scrote to find my house.

What to do if the house is unoccupied for any period of time?

Sounds like the huntingleaks bunch are doing just that, using our data........

the vast majority do indeed kill animals for fun and sometimes even go on to kill humans.
Really? 2 people in over 25 years constitutes as "sometimes"? My name, full address, phone number etc are all in there. I will follow the others above and report it...
