Private photos showing up in Google Image Search

Hello,
Many of my photos, which I've marked private, continue to show up in Google Image Search. If I'm not signed into 23 and I click on one of my photos as it turns up in the search results, it brings me to a page with a larger preview. In the background, 23 prompts for a login. Google also gives me the open to view the full size image, which is does from the 23hq.com domain. Short of deleting the images, a tedious task since I would have to do so one at a time, what can be done to make the photos I have marked as private actually private and not available via Google? I understand that Google might cache the thumbnails, but that isn't the issue. Via Google, anyone can access the full image off of 23's servers, even if I've marked it private. I find it rather disconcerting.
Thanks!

Have these photos ever been marked as public? I'm thinking we can probably change the URLs of your photos fairly easily so they won't be accessible with the Google-indexed URL -- but the thumbnails themselves may still linger in Google's caches.

Yeah, they were public for a time, but I do not want them to be public anymore. I understand that from your end, there's not much you can do about what Google has cached, but if you would please change the URLs, I would really appreciate it.
Perhaps the URL ought to change automatically whenever the privacy status of its respective image changes.

Yeah, you might be right about that change in secret key when privacy changes. The problem is that we did that originally, but had a lot of requests to change the behavior to the current. In any case, I've updated your photos now.
