Thank you. Out of curiosity, can you point me at a significant case cryptolockering of NAS data? I've read windows boxes being hit. I have nothing on my WD MyCloud that isn't duplicated somewhere else (either it's a backup of google photos/videos, or dupe'd to a USB drive) Again, a lock is the same as a HD failure to me. Both could happen with this setup. If the information is too valuable to fall prey to either circumstance then the system as implemented the wrong setup. Now, a botnet is different. I assume one could not run off of the WD box and the Raspi/Owncloud base is too small to target. Unless you can point me at content that indicates otherwise?

You should have off-site backups, but I suspect many people don't. > I assume one could not run off of the WD box and the Raspi/Owncloud base is too small to target. This is not really an issue - there are multiple router-based botnets as well. You can't really mine bitcoins, but there are tons of other stuff you can do, e.g. DDoS is usually not constrained by the processing power.
