Wow. You know you screwed up when private info is indexed by Google.
Incidentally, this reminds me of one of my past employers who worked with government agencies. Turns out he forgot to set a default index on server when he took down his website. Thus, "secret" filenames became public and google indexed data dumps from government clients with a few thousand social security numbers, and basically all the information needed to very effectively steal someone's identity. (address, drivers license photocopy, family info).
I'm just glad that I wasn't responsible for such a glaring security hole (I was long gone before this happened and I reported it and it's been fixed now though)
