Given that Russia has initiated a couple of low level harrassment campaigns recently (like the incendiary mail packages), it's rather likely you are right. Possibly even just because Hetzner is a German company (They got some beef with Germany and the US because, you know, weapons deliveries).

It's asymmetric: The only invest a single e-mail and the other side has all the bother.
