This website has a lot of open services for external connections, it can happen attacks like password guessing. This Onion page hosts an email server, Telnet, SSH and vsftpd services may be affected.

According to Gevers, this port is related to a web server that uses Fritzbox's router, meaning someone is hosting the Tor site on the router's server or hijack someone's router to host this site. It is not uncommon to host the Tor service on the modem / router because you can even host Tor relay on QNAP NAS.

Under normal circumstances, Tor pages do not reveal much of this information because they can reveal the location and identity of the website owner. Such information can be useful when tracking cybercrime but it is not good if you are running a secret page.
