We got "googlehacked" as one person put it last year.  

All attempts to get Google via their website to remove the info failed.
The school's public relations people contacted Google's PR people and
explained to them what happened, and I'm not sure exactly what was said,
but within 30 minutes the information was gone.

Subject: [SECURITY] Removing Files From Google cache

Does anyone have advice on the best approach for removing files from
Google 
cache or in dealing with Google to do so.

They offer a web page of advice on how to do this, but it does not seem
to 
work in a timely way.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html

Does anyone have experience or advice on how to do approach this.
