Synolocker - Cryptolocker For Nases

This is a very real threat, your data is at risk!

This is something I don't know a lot about yet, but for those using a Synology NAS, there is a new version of Cryptolocker specifically targeting them. This exploits a security flaw in the NAS you don't have to do anything to be infected!.

I know of one person already who has been affected.

Basically, if you have a Synology NAS, 
- If your NAS is not infected, turn off all remote access options immediately! then backup all data on it.
- If your NAS IS infected turn it OFF, unplug it, and wait.
- Do some serious research into the virus.

The only saving grace at this point appears to be the fact that these NASes are slow, so the encryption takes a long time.
