This document is page 44 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename/ISBN) included in a House Oversight Committee production. It details Edward Snowden's activities in late 2012, specifically how he used his position as a Dell contractor to transfer files from Fort Meade to Hawaii. The text explains that this authorized transfer provided 'perfect cover' for him to steal unencrypted NSA data by exploiting security flaws he had previously identified in Japan.
