Your post, below, is technically incorrect and frankly offensive as it serves to promote FUD and does not contribute to abuse discussions much. I find your post as well as your web links just wrong. You want a person contact so that you can harass and identify an individual to attack and argue ad naseum with? because you have a right to demand something? If you want to complain about email spam to NETWORK resource supplier companies you have to supply all the headers in order for your complaint to be investigated. Hetzner is one of the few resource suppliers that also actually keep tack of the amount and value of supplied abuse reports. Hetzner is one of the few companies that do actually manage abuse and does so very well. And imnsho Hetzner is one of the most ethical companies in the EU When you supply information of email abuse to Hetner, it is not the same as the Google spammer, the Facebook spammer, the Twitter spammer or any of the top USA abusers. Hetzner does not operate email servers, they supply routing, and in some cases to nation state governments. When you complain of email abuse, you have to agree that your report is sent to the actual operator of the service offered on the resource you are complaining about. As this will allow the actual resource user/operator to investigate the abuse. now the top 10 Internet companies (All US companies) are the worst email abusers of all Internet users anywhere on the planet. Google and Microsoft mixes so much legit comms with spam and they are so non responsive to abuse complaints - whereas they do have access to email logs and can actually take faster, better and preventative actions. hth Andre On Wed, 24 Apr 2019 18:23:48 -0700 "Ronald F.

Do any of you folks happen to have an email address for any live human at AS24940 (Hetzner) that you could share with me?

I'd like to have a chat with anybody there who might actually give a damn that there is a bitcoin extortion spammer now opreating, big time, from their network.

A full description of the issue/problem is available here:

P.S. I've tried emailing their published abuse reporting email address, and then even filled out their annoyingly tedious web abuse reporting form. Even that didn't help. I got back a automated message saying that they were trashing my report until such time as I gave them permission to forward my report on to their customer, i.e. the specific BITCOIN EXTORTION SPAMMER that I was attempting to report to them.

(Apparently, Hetzner thinks that this is the Right Way to handle abuse reports, i.e. to rat out the person making the report to the abuser, so that the abuser will then have a fair chance to launch a DDoS attack.)
