So this is disturbing if true, looks like there is unexpected port scanning going on from a Tutanota IP address, suggesting the possibility of a hack?

See: https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/81.3.6.164

Also https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/co...ta_got_hacked/

And continued reports of up/down service on other Reddit threads.

And still no comment from Tutanota staff.

If this is as serious as the worst case scenario could be, then I'd be pulling all my email out of Tutanota right now TBH just in case. If someone has hacked one of their servers, in addition to the huge DDoS, and on top of that is using one of their servers as a base to start scanning customers' ports, that's pretty bad news indeed.

Anyway, I'll leave it for now, but I thought my last check on Reddit was worth posting about. Best of luck to the Tutanota team, they must be having a nightmare right now.
