Similar thing happened in Australia recently. Every member of parliament and senators have their phone bills published to the government website as part of public disclosure. What happened though is instead of deleting their phone numbers, the contractor who was in charge of this simply changed the font colour of their phone number to white (same as the background). So if you looked at the PDF, it looked normal. If you highlighted the text - the phone number instantly showed up. Also viewing google "text" cache version showed the number too. As a result - hundreds of their personal phone numbers were available to anyone and everyone. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/private-mobile-phone-numbers-of-nearly-every-federal-mp-accidentally-published-online-20170320-gv1x85.html http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/privat...
