Well, normally citizens in Germany can contact the BSI via an email
address they specifically have for citizens. However, in this case
the linked article's contact address is for the press only, which I
overlooked, sorry! Werner should have the proper contact channels.

Otherwise, if the contact address in this article would be for non-press
people I could mail them.
