    After QNAP the turn now goes towards ASUSTOR NAS users. if you have an ASUSTOR unit connected to the web, please close down all ports at router level....

    I think that point is mandatory for any NAS...
    => "allowing connections only from within your network" <=
    If you want a cloud then you have cloud, a NAS/CLOUD is a bad idea... It's a bit like put the Van Gogh museum in airb&b for the weekend.

    BTW if you visit Amsterdam it is a nice place to visit.

    Yep, I got smacked in the face yesterday. The hackers were kind enough to say it wasn't my fault, it was Asustor's. I won't be paying of course.
    Since I was fully aware that exposing the server to the internet has some risk, I only stored files I wanted, not needed.
    So, I'll just create a Linux boot disk, use it to format the disk without compromising the network or internal disks, and be done with it.
