Synology

Synology warned users to strengthen the passwords to their network attached storage (NAS) after several devices capable of storing terabytes of data were encrypted by ransomware.

The attackers demanded 0.06 Bitcoin, then worth around $350, to regain access to files.

After an intensive investigation into this matter, the company found that the attacker used botnet addresses to hide the real source IP.

The firm recommended customers use Synology's network and account management settings to prevent the internet-based attacks.
