A company accidentally leaked sensitive information to me about their clients. This included names, addresses, phone numbers, emails and even more information. They are now apologising and telling me to delete it. What do?

What kind of company?
Don't delete it.
delete as instructed u drone
Pending the answer to you might want to hold on to it. Maybe make a PDF to upload in case there is anything sensitive. If it's really interesting for some political reason put it on here.
It was an exam center
I'm keeping the information no doubt. Unfortunately the information probably won't amount to much, but I was thinking of trying to get some money out of the company somehow
Bump
Risky. You'll want to avoid a paper trail and depending on whether you actually have any ties with this company or their staff that might not be easy or even possible. I also don't know the legal aspects of doing this in Britain. If they normally are under some obligation to keep this information confidential you might be able to play it like "I know certain clients personally and would normally feel obligated to inform them of this, all the more since I am now a likely suspect and scapegoat if any further leaks occur. I can only clear my name if I in turn send you proof that I have removed the data and get your confirmation of this happening in written form. Surely you can understand that I'd rather not violate my own confidential data without compensation" or something of the sort?
Say file was corrupted
Couldn't open
if you tell me your name, address, and bank account details I can help you with your extortion
>When a retarded intern presses the forward button on an unrelated email and pastes you into the mailing list
Well that sounds like blackmail. It will only work if they aren't legally protected as in it would be their fault for leaking this information like dumbasses. An attorney won't help you because if you do that, they can counter-sue at that point.
You are better off selling to russians or ukranians than black mailing the company you turbo autists. Especially in the police state of bingistan
I have literally no ties to the company whatsoever. I emailed them about an inquiry, then in response they leaked tons of data to me via email. In the UK we have a piece of statute called the data protection act, which makes it an obligation not to leak information like this.
Tell them you have deleted it, berate them for dragging you into this, tell them they have better offer you fish and chips with a beverage next time you take an exam.
Then take the data and sell them
use a proxy, go on tor, make a throwaway email, find an amateurish looking forum, make an add, ask for cash delivered to a PO box, give them half the data until payment arrives, then give the other half.
Repeat with as many clients as possible
what do you want?
Just sell it online on deepweb and say you were hacked. If your scared wipe hard drive and say they put a virus on it.
Smart. Still risky.
Step 1. Sell data
Step 2. Profit
Smarter, but it's just exam answers...not worth.
I would leak the data on here right now, but they contacted me on my personal email address meaning that they have my real name. If somehow they find out that I leaked the data they can easily track me down and take legal action.
Tyrone tier
Why would dox a bunch of random people for no reason? They're not even interesting, some college kid bullshit.
This is the blackest post I've seen all day
Well if the information was sent to other people and not just you and it gets leaked out to the public they might try to blame you for it. I would go a lawyer or police and notify them if those morons are trying to hide the breach internally and something happens later you may get investigated for not saying anything.
Well like I said, ideally I'd like to get them to pay me not to leak it. Then I'd figure out once I want to leak it just for shits and giggles.
The pizza pedos are worse then you could imagine. If the truth came out, even shitlibs and sjws would be joining up to kill politicians in the streets.
They are on a hellraiser torture porn level of fucked up. Weiners laptop had pics and vids. Several of the nypd cops who investigated , hardened cops who deal with gore and murder on the normal were brought to tears and nauseous vomiting, had to be restrained from immediately trying to going to plot and kill the suspects.

Thank me later
Also the answer to the mess
God Speed in defeating these Satanists Filth ,,,,,....
Thanks. But yeah, still a gamble.
You can actually cite the data protection act and play the dutiful citizen. Maybe just call the company; a law-abiding man scared that a company he has no ties with knows his personal adress and worried that he might be implicated if another leak occurs and his real name could be used in a frame job on part of the company is in a position to potentially even be offered something "under the table" so as to avoid the state. Management usually don't like attention from even higher up, plus you'd get the Jow Forums cred bonus of having used the system to wreak havoc too.
What a fucking kike. You give Jow Forums a bad name. God should nuke you with a laser guided missile who's tip is a sharp knife and is aimed at your nuts
You say that but I'm sure you wouldn't turn down a few shekels if you were in my situation
Kiked from the heart, the jews' to blame.
You give Jow Forums a bad name.
>God should nuke you with a laser guided missile who's tip is a sharp knife and is aimed at your nuts
Truly a wunderwaffe.
Degenerate
Just emailed them saying they are in breach of the data protection act. They are "willing to face
the consequences"
Lawyer up sue save screenshots of everyone
1000€ processing fee
This happened to me by a dump receptionist going to make a complaint and get them fired 40 other people now have my email
>trying to blackmail a company when they know your personal info
ahahahaha nigger. I wish you good fortune in your future endeavours.
They don't know my personal info. They could probably get it by doing some internet detective work though. I have literally no ties with the company whatsoever. I'm not even a customer.
you are an absolute moron and a degenerate and you are trying to get Jow Forums involved in a criminal endeavor for subversive purposes and every user should report this bullshit to the police because while we may want to throw the yids into the oven, the blacks into the ocean and the leftists into the goat shredder at the rendering plant, we are fundamentally moral people and basically the only objectively good guys left on the planet.
>Is a chink from Japan
And I'm the degenerate?
keep it up Eisenstein you are so clever that you are going to Shylock your way into becoming the living Tickle Me Elmo doll of your local penitentiary except instead of tickling it will be dickling and instead of laughing and shaking it will be wailing and thrashing
laugh all you want, once Scotland Yard nabs you you’re going to be seeing more jap’s eyes in the shower than I do on the subway
Then leak that shit.
Or alternatively, go "Well, I am not and being that I know you're willing to break the law I would need it on good authority that my name is not used for scapegoating purposes when another breach inevitably happens." If you'll get money out of them this is how.
Scumbag. Example of why the West is dead.
Or just tell them to sneeze some cash or you will contact everyone whose info is in there and sue them . Check if your info is in the leaked information .
do it so you can go to jail and we can be free to browse Jow Forums with at least one less low iq nigger
Yeah that works too. If they don't give a fuck you might as well be overt.
>What do?
Sell it on the dark web for bitcoin.
Blackmail them.
POO IN LOO
on second thought I like your idea better
If you don't delete the data you are criminal.
If you sell it on you are a criminal who will be jailed for a long time and the money you obtain from selling the data will be confiscated.
Make your decision carefully.
It could adversely affect the rest of your life.
You also have to live with your conscience
>what do?
Step 1) get anonymous cryptocurrency account
Step 2) start sending leaked info person(s) pizza delivery, exterminators, lawn care people, anything COD.
Step 3) contact leaked info person(s) tell them to post X amount of cryptocurrency in X account and "there will be an end to the horror"
Step 4) lulz le epic troll
