QNAP has extended support and will keep issuing security updates for some end-of-life network-attached storage devices until October 2022.

"Due to these reasons, QNAP normally maintains security updates for 4 years after a product passes its EOL date. As a special effort to help users protect their devices from today's security threats, QNAP has extended security updates for some EOL models till October 2022.".

The company added that, while the support date has been moved until October, these EOL devices will only receive security updates addressing high severity and critical vulnerabilities.

QNAP also added that customers should not EOL NAS devices to the Internet to ensure that attackers will not compromise them using exploits targeting unpatched vulnerabilities.

QNAP also urged customers today to follow recommendations on enhancing NAS devices' security to block malware or other types of attacks.
