The "Epstein Files" refers to a massive collection of legal documents, deposition transcripts, flight logs, and investigative records related to the criminal and civil cases against Jeffrey Epstein.
A foreign hacker breached an FBI network in 2023 and accessed files tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation after exploiting a vulnerable server at the bureau’s New York field office.
Many of the documents are hosted on public court databases and official government websites, such as the Department of Justice's online reading room, following their release under transparency laws.
No. The files contain names of victims, witnesses, employees, and social acquaintances. Many people are mentioned simply because they were in his contact book or attended a social event, and being named does not necessarily imply any illegal activity.
The flight logs are records of passengers who travelled on Epstein’s private aircraft. They have been used by investigators to track who visited his private island and other residences over a period of two decades.
