I still pull storage from computers at goodwill with good data. The last one had a bunch of tax info. I'm talking full identity info: SSN, phone numbers, current and past addresses, employer tax ID, pictures, flat text files with passwords, etc.

My first dumpster pull ~20 years ago netted me financial reports, bonus pay info, tax liability info for a very large petroleum company.
