Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?

Yes

What work was allegedly infringed? If possible, please provide a URL:

An ex-employee of ours has recently published all of the work he performed while working for our company, Realeflow, to his github account in public repos. He was a full-time employee at the time he developed these projects for our company and signed an employment agreement stating that all work produced during his employment at Realeflow is the property of Realeflow. The code he published even contains copyright comments within it. Also, there are passwords, security keys, etc, contained in his files that exposed our company to risk. His employment was terminated a couple of years ago and he only just now added those repos in April.

While you're at it, you may want to also consider removal of the project that belongs to American Greetings [private]. I'm sure they would appreciate that too.

Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.

Yes, there don't seem to be any other forks.

Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?

No, none of these were open source projects. They are all proprietary company projects of ours.

What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?

No, all of these projects belong to Realeflow and he has no claim to them whatsoever. His employment agreement is very clear on that. In addition the files contains sensitive security information that exposes our company.
