Would it invite an attack by malicious entities?
Many insist that the potential rewards far outweigh the risks. First contact would be one of the most momentous occasions in the history of our species, the argument goes—and if we just wait around for someone to call us, it may never happen.
As for the risk of annihilation by malevolent space aliens, we blew our cover long ago. Any extraterrestrial capable of traveling to Earth would likely be more than capable of detecting evidence of life in the chemical signatures of our atmosphere or the electromagnetic radiation that has been
leaking from our radios, televisions, and radar systems for the past century.
When we attempt to contact extraterrestrial life, it's important to proceed with caution and consider the potential risks and consequences. For example, when we send a message to another civilization, we would be revealing our location and existence to an unknown entity, which could potentially pose a threat to our planet or our species.
Ultimately, any attempt to contact extraterrestrial life should be carefully considered and conducted with the utmost caution and safety. Before making any assumptions about the nature of such life, it's important to gather as much information as possible and proceed in a manner that minimizes the potential risks and maximizes the potential benefits.

The Fermi Paradox suggests that because our galaxy is relatively young compared to the age of the universe, that there have been billions and billions years for an alien race to develop the technology to travel to our planet and if they existed they would have introduced themselves by now.

Aliens are harvesting humans. If not for our unique bodily fluids then for the ability to be small forms of battery energy they can use for whatever reason. The universe runs off energy and what are we all made of? energy. So we are probably just being farmed. So sending signals trying to contact them is probably gona put a premium prize per lb. on that unique piece of meat sending the signal to them.
