Major email leak.
Spread this to anyone you know, especially anyone who has settled.

It was due to a security breach that was the fault of ACS Law accidently putting their backup file on the public servers.
There are emails containing the private financial details of people accused of copyright infringement, including their credit cards and three digit security code. These people should know about this and be prepared to take legal action.
The company has a legal requirement to inform everybody involved of the leak, but just to be sure, spread the word.
I can imagine this may also have huge consequences for other law firms also practicing this method of bullying people into giving money.
