I don’t know if we will get a report as to what happened, but Tutanota is frequently used for…perhaps not entirely legal transactions. (Not that I would ever do such a thing, perish the thought.) I wonder if they made the wrong person/drug syndicate angry…

They supply a steady stream of spammers and phishing gangs with email addresses to use when signing up for email sending services. We blocked their domains entirely because it is all garbage.

Huh, the email service that everyone uses to buy “research chemicals” via Bitcoin attracts a shady audience? Shocking.
