Just adding a "me too" here: Hetzner node, running a relay (*not* an exit node), received two abuse emails from Hetzner that a company called "watchdogcyberdefense" complained about SSH login attempts to their 202.91/16 network.
Replied to Hetzner with my own text and reinstalled my node and installed egress packet filter rules to block traffic to that network. Weird though.
Thanks for reporting this to the list!

Update for my experience with OVH.
Received 4 abuse emails in total (2 per each relay), each was replied within 24h. No followup on any or response. Still have service uninterrupted.
Hopefully the attacker's ISP kicks them off instead. All of the honeypot that send "incorrect" abuse emails get a flood of responses and update their detection scripts. Ideally no one loses any nodes, but it seems to have already happened.
Good luck everyone,
Dimitris T. via tor-relays:
another abuse report from hetzner (by the same watchdogcyberdefence) a few hours ago. no reply from hetzner yet to previous ticket.
this time, alleged attacked /20 subnet from watchdogcyberdefence was firewalled since 30/10/2024, just to confirm new false abuse reports..., and they confirmed (=their report, shows traffic from our ip on 3/11/2024)....
replied to hetzner with proposed template and minor changes.

similar situation here with hetzner.. got a first report 2 days ago, and just a while ago got another abuse report, by the same watchdogcyberdefence.... with more alleged activity from our ip...
like everybody else, there's nothing coming out from our relay ip, so we strongly believe "Theory three"[1] .
Agree.
I have just received another "abuse" report. Hetzner have yet to respond to my last reply to them.
