[German<\/a>]Currently there is a warning from NAS vendors like QNAP and Synology. These have increasingly detected attacks on their systems via brute force or attempts to exploit exploits. If successful, the drives are encrypted using Ransomware.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warning from Synology<\/h2>\n

\"\"I have a text excerpt (thanks to @PhantomofMobile for that) in which Synology warns directly of such an attack. <\/p>\n

Synology has recently received several reports of encryption-based ransomware attacks. After investigation, these incidents were part of a large-scale attack targeting NAS devices from various vendors leveraging brute-force attempts at logins instead of system vulnerabilities. Therefore, Synology strongly recommends all users check if the measures below are in place to secure your accounts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
