If its from a google cloud based server.

It's already gone.

The database itself appeared to have been wiped on March 3. That could be a good thing, since it means that information's no longer publicly exposed, but it might also mean that a hacker wiped the database after copying the records with the intent of selling them to someone else. And that's where things get even weirder

Where does the story get that it's from Census records? If they have evidence of that, it's a Real Story since the Census is supposed to keep personal information Very Private.
