Whatever the DOJ has on hand that it is calling the Epstein Files, it is hardly as much as what it could have been. According to a just-now exposed testimony by FBI Agent Aaron Spivack, a hack into their NY Field Office during the 2023 Superbowl led to the FBI losing access to more than 500 terabytes of data. 100 Terabytes would turn out to be lost for good.
FBI Computer System Hacked, Millions of Epstein Files Wiped – slaynews.com
A sworn declaration buried in the Trump administration’s recent release of millions of “Epstein Files” documents reveals that an FBI computer system hack resulted in the destruction of roughly 100 terabytes of Jeffrey Epstein-related data.
The September 2024 declaration from FBI agent Aaron Spivack states that a massive breach of the FBI’s New York Field Office (NYFO) systems on Super Bowl Sunday in 2023 led to the Bureau losing access to approximately 500 terabytes of data.
100 terabytes of this data could not be recovered and was permanently erased.
The document had reportedly received little public attention until it was highlighted by independent journalists.
“500 Terabytes of Data Was Gone”
Spivack worked for more than a decade in the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism and Child Exploitation squads, including the Violent Crimes Against Children (VCAC) unit.
He described discovering the intrusion the day after it occurred.
According to his sworn testimony, when he logged into his work computer, he “noticed it had been restarted” and saw a text file indicating part of his network had been compromised, along with an email address to contact.
After running antivirus software, Spivack learned it “identified one potential threat,” but his administrative privileges had already been removed.
He was later told the threat may have been a “booby-trap” left by a hacker.
