Is it given that this attack was done from within Hetzner?
As I understand the techniques applied; this could have also been done at another place on the network route to the targeted server.
Ie. by the telecommunications company delivering traffic into Hetzner.
Tele communication companies have internal “police groups” (where I am from - I expect it to be the same in Germany) that does nothing but service wiretapping requests from the police. Telcos are required by law to do this.
Them expanding into mtm https wiretapping is a new for me but maybe to be expected …
