Network-attached storage appliance manufacturer QNAP Systems says it is investigating reports of malicious attacks targeting NAS devices.
Known worldwide for its NAS and professional network video recorder solutions, the Taiwan-based company on Friday issued two advisories to warn of a new wave of attacks targeting its users, urging them to ensure that their NAS devices are not exposed to the Internet.
The company says all QNAP NAS devices that run Roon Server 2021-02-01 and earlier might be susceptible to attacks.
In the meantime, users should make sure their NAS is not connected to the Internet and should also disable the Roon Server to ensure they are not exposed to potential attacks.
Secondly, QNAP says it's investigating reports that NAS devices continue to be targeted with the eCh0raix ransomware.
This is not the first time QNAP NAS devices have been targeted with the eCh0raix ransomware.
