To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
All electronic communications, including emails, with Netsential, a Texas-based web hosting firm that contracts with local law enforcement, the FBI, DHS, and municipal governments. Netsential was recently the source of the hacked data known as BlueLeaks.
I am especially seeking information about contracts Netsential has received to create and maintain websites and other digital services for the FBI, FBI-affiliated organizations, LE, and various intelligence fusion centers.
Please also search for communications with Stephen Gartrell, the founder of Netsential.
