More details to this question:
A large media organization illegally obtained my confidential medical and probate records. They then posted them on the internet with full dates of birth and SS#. They refuse to take them down stating that they are "public records" but the Clerk of Court has verified in writing that these are not public records and should not have been released. I have never been arrested or charged with a crime. I have lost well paying jobs due to this information being posted online.
