  started to look into it.  She escalated her
3
  concerns.
4
              I reached out to folks in the cyber
5
  and fraud team, and then we started talking with
6
  the product management team in GTS.  And through
7
  engagement with them, they asked us to do more in
8
  the way of identifying what the risk was and
9
  things that we could do to stop it.
10
         Q.   And initially, the scenario you just
11
  described, the concern was that there were
12
  individuals who were using stolen identities to
13
  engage in unemployment insurance benefits
14
  enrollment fraud; correct?
15
         A.   Correct.
16
         Q.   And so that was the problem that GFC
17
  was brought in to try to analyze?
18
         A.   Correct.
19
              MS. CHAN:  How do you feel about a
20
         break?  Can we go off the record?
21
              MS. ROSE-SMITH:  I would love a break.
22
         I just have too much coffee in the morning.
23
              THE VIDEOGRAPHER:  The time is
24
         approximately 10:47:46 -- 57 a.m.  We are
25
         now off the record.
