Actually, we demonstrably have a case of collusion among rogue intelligence services of several countries for the purpose of undermining the democratic order and the constitution of said countries, which is high treason, if you care about such trifles. If nobody else is taking measures (official stonewalling is slowly getting there, making such individuals actually potentially complicit in high treason) GG Art 20 (arguably, also Art 32 StGB) applies and taking countermeasures by individual citizens is lawful. Always IANAL, of course. So if the state is not taking measures against surveillance gear on US embassies or unlawful data collection by foreign intelligence agencies, individuals are by law allowed to.

Doxxing foreign (of course, everybody is a foreigner, somewhere) intelligence and special services appears a rather mild measure, under the circumstances.
