From: Joseph Uchill

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Idaho Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

According to the Associated Press (Feb 15 - https://www.usnews.com/news/idaho/articles/2017-02-15/idaho-official-dhs-may-have-tried-to-hack-elections-site) The Idaho Secretary of State believes a federal agency may have tried to hack a state system around the date of the presidential election without notifying Idaho officials in advance.
As the "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's IP address showed up as trying to access the [system] around Nov. 8, Secretary of State Lawerence Denney said Monday...."I don't know what they penetrated, or what they tried, I just know their IP address showed up as hitting our website," said Denney. "I don't know what they were doing. It would have been nice if they had told us."

Please provide:
(1) Technical reports, after incident reports and any other internal or externally produced reports concerning that or any other alleged hack or attempted hack of Idaho's technology by DHS.
(2) All emails, memos, letters, communications and presentation slides discussing any incident.
(3) Expense reports for services to investigate any attempts to breach.

If it would help with clearance rates or efficiency please feel free to refile each bullet point as a separate request.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Joseph Uchill

From: Idaho Secretary of State
