You may also want to investigate the Unity UniFi products. I wound up buying a Firewalla Gold, which has its own subreddit. Under no circumstances would I ever expose my NAS directly to the Internet, without a dedicated firewall. It was only then that I realized that I needed to get serious about locking down my network, which means turning UPNP off on your router, not forwarding any ports, disabling MyQNAPCloud, and only allowing remote access via OpenVPN or WireGuard. When I finally got back, I knew about the ransomeware that had infiltrated dozens of thousands of NASes and feared the worst, but if Malware Remover is telling me the truth, then my NAS was spared. I would have probably been a victim, too, had my QNAP not lost power about nine months ago, while I was trapped in New York because of the pandemic for fifteen months, far away from home.

Qnap qblocker update#
Please take this as a warning and update all related apps and QTS. If I had known what was going on last month, or had set automatic updates, I could have saved myself some trouble, but I didn't lose any family photos, for example, so it could have been much worse. None of Qlocker rescure instructions worked. It seems to be most likely a newer version of Qlocker, as there are no 7z files/extensions. So music is here, but booklets and info files are lost. Just the usual suspects as TXT, PDF, DOC, ZIP, RAR are now encrypted. Fortunately all FLAC, MP3, MKV, MP4, EPUB, MOBI files are intouched. This NAS was my storage for music, movies and a few books.


I was not aware of the Qlocker frenzy last month, so it was a big surprise for me. I just found out that my QNAP NAS was encrypted overnight.
