Get used to it.

The original thread with them in has already been removed (yes, the entire thread, not just the links), as have several other threads, including ones that didn't link to the leaked database but were presumably considered too negative.

My e-mail that I've used for years is in that file, and really, I don't give a fuck. I've already had it all over my web site and I get a lot of spam, but I also filter it pretty well. I know not to open anything executable or glance twice at anything from Nigeria. I also will shoot red hot daggers at any business that attempts to use said file as a database of Bitcoin users for marketing purposes— any such business (and there has already been one) will be on my shit list forever.

What's the use of deleting all the links, at least people now know there is a database with there email and pass leaked.
Deleting the link doesn't delete it from the internet and the HDD's of people who downloaded it.

If you would find a way to do that, you'll be filthy rich, record company's would give you millions.

If you've forgotten the SA trolls a few weeks back, this is one of them. Just see his sig.
