This document appears to be a page (Chapter 11, page 99) from a book manuscript, likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename prefix 'Epst', contained within House Oversight Committee files. It provides a biographical summary of Julian Assange, detailing his early hacking activities against targets like the Pentagon and NASA, the founding of WikiLeaks, and his collaboration with Bradley Manning to release classified U.S. documents in 2010. The text also mentions Edward Snowden and Jacob Appelbaum in the context of the global hacktivist underground.
