Personal information in job attachments

[amt17]

This may be a (very) daft question, but is it generally permitted by Upwork to upload a person's private and confidential information to job attachments, e.g. translations?

I have seen quite a few examples (SSN, medical history etc.) so this time I flagged the job but the attachements are still available.

Hi Annette, 

This is not allowed and necessary actions will be take accordingly. Will you please send me a private message with the link to the job so that I can follow up on your report?

Thank you, Avery.

I have sent you a PM.

Today I didn't just "flag" a job post but reported it directly to customer service.

The attachment contains a psychiatric evaluation, complete with name, address, social security number, intimate details about the person's personal and intimate life, professional life, war participation, mental status, illness etc., basically the person's entire life documented on various pages.

It has been an hour and the attachement is still on Upwork for everyone to see.

I am sorry to say but this is just not good enough! It should have been removed immediately. There is no excuse to continue making it publicly available!
