Summary
An email thread from August 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and likely MDC or prosecution officials. Sternheim reports a security breach where third parties accessed a Zoom room during privileged attorney-client communication and requests a return to WebEx. The respondent denies a breach occurred, attributing the issue to an internal miscommunication where a secure line was already in use.

Good morning Bobbi-
There was a miscommunication on our end internally. There was no
breach. The address provided was a very secure line, however, it was
already one being used. We are creating a line as secure as possible.
We are hoping for this to be complete by the 9:30 scheduled call, but I
cannot confirm it will be ready by then.

I sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.

Good morning-
In my email of 8/9 (see below), I raised concerns regarding use of the
MDC Zoom
platform because it does not preclude third parties with access
information to the Zoom “Courtrooms”
from interfering (inadvertently or intentionally) with Ms. Maxwell’s
privileged communication.
That concern manifested itself today when third parties accessed the
Zoom room used by Ms. Maxwell and counsel.
This breach was reported to, and I believe witnessed by, MDC staff,
including technician [REDACTED].
This severely impacts confidential privileged attorney-client
communication and is especially concerning in this
high-profile case.
I am requesting that we immediately revert back to the WebEx platform
controlled by Cohen & Gresser.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thank you-
Bobbi
