Synology NAS device hit by ransomware via old flaw

Original: synology ransomware

A publicly accessible Synology NAS has been hit by ransomware exploiting an 18-month-old remote code execution vulnerability, according to a report by Tom's Hardware. The attack succeeded because security updates had been repeatedly neglected, described as a series of catastrophic errors. The case is a reminder to owners of network-attached storage to patch promptly and avoid exposing devices directly to the internet.

Why now: A ransomware attack on an internet-exposed NAS exploiting a long-patched flaw is a cautionary tale for home users and businesses running similar devices.
