Good afternoon,

I understand that I was not specific enough in describing the document I am requesting, I will attempt to clarify. I am requesting any document profiling or regarding threats posed by the Saint Petersburg-based Russian organization Internet Research Agency (IRA), otherwise known as Glavset.

The reports may have been created by the National Cybersecurity Center, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, or the National Protection and Programs Directorate. I unfortunately cannot specify dates as part of what I am trying to ascertain is when the DHS began to pay attention to the IRA.

Please let me know if you need more information and thank you!
Best,
Elijah Kaplan
