Open letter to all hackers and anonymous surfers,
but also to all Internet criminals.

I have been operating my website since 1999 and fulfil the legal requirements for identification. I am therefore transparent for every visitor to my website.

Since 29 June 2021, my pages, and therefore I too, have been under constant attack. The aim of these attacks was and is essentially the destruction of my pages, the encryption of my database and the theft of supposedly important information.

In order to be able to recognise these attacks, I had to learn a lot, essentially dark topics such as "darknet", "hacking", "BOTNET", "SQL injection" and much more. Then I had to learn how to protect my sites from these attacks.

And I had to realise that it is very difficult to defend against these attacks. So the only option left to me was to block the IP addresses from which my sites were being attacked. Unfortunately, this means that I also block visitors who simply want to access my pages.

Things got really bad on 25 June 2024. At that time, I was attacked by a BOTNET with more than 1000 IP addresses. I was able to stop the attack, but it took a long time to deal with it.

In the course of dealing with the attack, I obviously made a personal enemy of the visitors coming via the TOR network. I recognised a flurry of activity from this network, with one group being so active that I asked them to write to me by email via my website.

This actually happened, anonymously of course! I agreed to the request of the e-mail partner who wanted to check certain things in my system online.

What kind of world is it where people would rather hack other people's sites at great expense than simply look at the "Communication" entry and use it to establish a connection to me!

Is everything nowadays only possible anonymously or with a crowbar?

Have people forgotten that every website has to have a contact? In my case by e-mail, which has actually worked quite well for 24 years!

And the whole thing was triggered by the constant attacks from the Internet and the darknet, which uses TOR technology to operate from the dark.

My request to these Internet criminals: Just stop attacking my sites, then I won't have to defend them any longer!

Then there will finally be peace and I can devote myself to sensible activities again.
