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.... Asustor NAS getting hit by ransomware
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.
