August 6, 201411 yr Not sure if anyone saw this but thought I would share it. http://www.zdnet.com/ransomware-attacks-synology-nas-devices-7000032335/ Synology has confirmed user reports that some of their Diskstation devices are being taken over by a ransomware attack. The attack replaces the DSM management software on the NAS, encrypts the files on the device and demands that the user pay 0.6 BitCoins to retrieve the files. A Synology spokesperson told ZDNet that "Synology is fully dedicated to investigating this issue and possible solutions. Based on our current observations, this issue only affects Synology NAS servers running some older versions of DSM (DSM 4.3-3810 or earlier), by exploiting a security vulnerability that was fixed and patched in December, 2013. At present, we have not observed this vulnerability in DSM 5.0."
