This document page, likely from a House Oversight report, details the timeline and methods Edward Snowden used to steal classified NSA data in 2013. It covers his preparations in Hawaii, including deceiving Booz Allen about medical leave, obtaining colleagues' passwords through deception, and using automated 'spider' software to index over one million documents, many classified as Level 3 Sensitive Compartmented Information. The text highlights security failures, such as the lack of real-time auditing at the Hawaii base and the 'open culture' that facilitated password sharing.
