Book Excerpt / Congressional Oversight Record
View

This document appears to be a page from a book (Chapter Twenty) included in a House Oversight file. It discusses intelligence failures, specifically comparing the 1994 discovery of CIA mole Aldrich Ames to the later security breach by Edward Snowden. It highlights a prescient 1996 NSA report that warned networking computers would make the agency vulnerable to a 'system administrator' acting as a mole.
