How do you know this was a nation state attacker?
Linodes response of 'we have observed no illegal activity and are closing this ticket' is as close as you can get to 'yes, this is a legal wiretap and we aren't allowed to tell you about it'.
Oof. The answers by Hetzner and Linode read as if they were straight out of a dystopian novel.
