The Bourne series has its internal logic.
Since Jomo is still alive in this book, the setting for it is therefore in the early to mid 1970s. The technology however, is post 2000’s.
Look at the accurate mention of database and firewall, terminologies still in use

Yes. The book was written in the 2000s, and the tech retrofitted to the original Bourne books that were written by Ludlum himself (1960s setting). I don’t mind retrofitted technology so long as it’s believable..
But I’m not buying this. There were no firewalls or even the internet as we know it in the 1970s. The only hacking that existed then was calling an old spectacled woman at a switchboard and confusing her with fake phonebook addresses (e.g. yellow pages).

Yes. And all that was needed was a copper wire tied onto the target’s phone line. Even a monkey could do it.
Algorithms on the other hand.. that’s very advanced stuff.
