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.)

Kind regards,
Alexander

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.

Thanks Markus, I'll ask them if there is another way to unlock my account.
In this situations i'm never certain if I have been hacked or something...

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
