In the past week or so, I have received a GDPR takedown attempt of the archive.today blog post (which my hosting provider rightly rejected), a politely worded request to take it down (which was sadly eaten by my spam filter), and now this (thanks to the HN reader who tipped me off).
Given that the proverbial cat has been out of the bag for 2.5 years at this point, I'm genuinely puzzled as to what they're hoping to achieve, but this does not seem like a very good way of going about it.

Great article, is the attack affecting you in any way?
Do you know when it began?
And what do you think of the account reporting this being named rabinovich, and having being created months ago?
What did the politely worded request say, was it from the creator?
