This document is page 217 of a book (identified by the filename ISBN as 'Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales') included as an exhibit in a House Oversight Committee investigation (Bates stamped). The text details systemic cybersecurity failures within the U.S. intelligence community's vetting process, specifically focusing on contractors USIS and Booz Allen Hamilton, and the OPM's e-QIP system. It highlights how these vulnerabilities allowed foreign actors (China and Russia) and hacker groups (Anonymous) to access sensitive personnel data, noting that Edward Snowden used these compromised systems to update his clearance in 2011.
