The top comment on Reddit r/netsec's corresponding coverage has mirrors on Mega.co.nz for the files [1] I couldn't find my own data in the set, and actually it seems like lots of entire area codes are missing.

Feel free to contact us to ask for the uncensored database. Under certain circumstances, we may agree to release it.
