Take Immediate Action to Protect Your Data from Ransomware Attack
Synology has recently received several reports of encryption-based ransomware attacks. After investigation, these incidents were part of a large-scale attack targeting NAS devices from various vendors leveraging brute-force attempts at logins instead of system vulnerabilities. Therefore, Synology strongly recommends all users check if the measures below are in place to secure your accounts.
Please make sure you go through the checklist below:
• Create a new account in administrator group and disable the system default “admin” account.
• Use a complex and strong password, and apply password strength rules to all users.
• Enable 2-step verification to add an extra security layer to your account.
• Enable Auto Block in Control Panel and run Security Advisor to make sure there is no weak password in the system.
• Enable Firewall in Control Panel, and only allow public ports for services that are necessary.
In addition to the network and account management settings described above, we also recommend you keep your NAS up to date as well as protect your data with the built-in Snapshot Replication or Hyper Backup in case a recovery is necessary. To learn more about how to safeguard your NAS against encryption-based ransomware, please visit https://www.synology.com/solution/ransomware.

• How can I protect my Synology NAS against WannaCry?
• How to back up your data to a remote Synology NAS or file server with Hyper Backup?
Zoals hierboven staat brute-force en het zou geen kwetsbaarheid/heden betreffen. Toch vind ik dit altijd zorgelijke berichten.
