Did they ask Google?

Posted on June 20, 2013July 1, 2025 by Dissent

Cryptome was visited by the U.S. Secret Service this week over personal information about former President G. W. Bush’s family that had been hacked and leaked online by “Guccifer.”

As Cryptome notes, although Cryptome removed the list, the original source of Cryptome’s mirror of the Bush family contact list is still online. I checked the link to confirm that as of this morning, it remains online on Google Drive.

I suspect much of this is futile as the hack and list were widely covered in the media, but I do understand that former presidents and their families continue to get heightened security. So… did the Secret Service ask Google to remove the list from their server or haven’t they asked?
