This document is page 205 from a book (indicated by the ISBN in the filename, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein) included in a House Oversight production. The text details the establishment of the U.S. Cyber Command in 2009 under General Keith Alexander, the difficulties in attributing cyber attacks (citing the 2014 Sony hack), and the NSA's mandate to dominate cyberspace and intercept information from adversaries like Russia, China, and North Korea. It mentions the NSA's annual budget of $12.3 billion and workforce size.
