Rather than acquiring additional files, Miller would like to examine the file he has just acquired. Instead of selecting the "file browser" link on the screen, shown in Figure 19, he selects the "view the acquired file" link below it, which brings him to the Acquired File Display screen, shown in Figure 20.

The file appears to contain credit card numbers, expiration dates, and names, as well as the date each credit card number was obtained. Miller now has enough evidence to present to his superiors.

Based on past experiences, Miller is suspicious that Wallace may be working with an outside party.
