The US Department of Justice (DOJ) removed thousands of Jeffrey Epstein documents from its website after victims reported their identities were compromised due to flawed redactions, leading to privacy breaches and threats.

• Nearly 100 victims had their lives "turned upside down" due to the release of unredacted email addresses and nude photos.
• The DOJ attributed the errors to "technical or human error" and stated that 0.1% of released pages contained unredacted identifying information.
• Victims, including Annie Farmer and Lisa Phillips, expressed outrage and feelings of retraumatization, with some receiving death threats after private details were publicised.
