This document is page 230 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (authored by Edward Jay Epstein, likely confusing the keyword search for 'Epstein'). The text discusses the strategies of Russian intelligence agencies (SVR and KGB) to recruit hacktivists and target NSA insider personnel. It references Edward Snowden as a donor to Ron Paul and cites a 1996 NSA report predicting that foreign intelligence would eventually target system administrators and engineers rather than relying solely on external hacking. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, indicating it was submitted as evidence to Congress.
