You really need to read Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem....
If the Dark Forest theory of his (explained in the second book of the series, misleadingly titled "Dark Forest") is true, then we're already screwed, because we'd been blindly broadcasting out into space for decades already.
The whole series is fantastic, and the English translation of the first book won a Hugo in 2015. I highly recommend it. In fact, I think I'm going to start a re-read.
