I have no experience with Hetzner, but no ISP in Germany (or elsewhere) has ever asked me for a copy of my passport. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

(For German readers: it's illegal to create photocopies of the latest generation of ID cards, except for government agencies, banks and such, AFAIK.

No its is not and its normal with banks, ISPs,  web hosting etc 


Look it up and stop starting rumours …

Kind regards,

I do not think they will compromise and this is "normal" behaviour for a ISP from Europe. Online.net is cheap, fast and has good support. I would send them what they demanded. In Germany you have to send them a copy of your passport before they even get you a server. Got this with Hetzner. So, nothing to worry about.

Same happened here. Sent them their stuff they demanded and 2 days later my account was restored and they are "fine" with abuse.

DigitalOcean demanded access to my FaceBook and Twitter account for verification ...
I do not own a Twitter or Facebook account ...
 
Which ISP is it?

Hi,
Im running an exit relay for 116 days. Today i received an email from my ISP saying that my account has been locked for security reasons.
They asked me to send a copy of my identity card and a selfie holding it. I found that very odd and i feel uncomfortable sending that data to them.
Should i give up to running my exit relay and find another ISP?
By the way, i had received an abuse complaint a day before, due to Brute force attempts.
Best Regards,
Tanous
