Pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information 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, and DHS. Netsential was recently the source of the hacked data known as BlueLeaks.

Please also search for communications with Stephen Gartrell, the founder of Netsential.

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.

Hi Chris - there are two data requests in this attachment. For the second one, you've made the same data request that you sent to me with another office. Data requests sent to me for the MN Fusion Center will result in receipt of data requested (you sent an identical request to me).
Your follow-up on the other email from last July is now received as well.
We will circle back when any responsive data is ready to go.
Thank you,
Jill Oliveira

Dear Mr. Schiano, Thank you for your data request to the BCA in which you seek: "All electronic communications, including emails, with Netsential, a Texas-based web hosting firm that contracts with local law enforcement, the FBI, and DHS. 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, such as the Minnesota Fusion Center. Please also search for communications with Stephen Gartrell, the founder of Netsential." Please know the BCA does not have a contract because the parties were the FBI and Netsential. There are no releasable communications with Stephen Gartrell under the BCA Security Information Declaration, Fusion Center Security Information Declaration and Minn. Stat. ยง 13.37 (attached). Thank you.
