Ransomware attack hits Synology's NAS boxen

DesktopGuy

Been visiting my Synology clients all day - still going...

Was told about this by a client this morning who heard about it from someone who got owned.

So far, secured 7 devices today and doing another one tonight. The rest of devices have been powered down until I go over and secure them.

All told, we are talking about 130+TB of data (3 of the units with large RackStations).

I manage around 50 devices from a few manufacturers - this is by far the worst issue Iv'e come across in 7 years and managing NAS devices.

To make matters worse, alot of the distributors in countries were not told by Synology of the issue.

Al in all, a scary day for my clients. Will need to see how Synology respond before recommending any more kit...
