Asustor were pretty useless when mine stopped working, and had a pretty bad ransomware incident where they did a lot of blaming users for their own buggy software. I won't be buying from them again.
- bayindirh 1y agoI can just install TrueNAS and be happy, though. I'm not afraid of configuring things.
- re 1y agoI looked up the ransomware attack out of curiosity: https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/asustor-nas-owners-hit-by-deadbolt-ransomware-attack https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/asusto... It looks like Deadbolt also hit QNAP and Terramaster.
- bayindirh 1y agoAlso, it looks like only units which are accessible from the internet are hit, but isolated units did not get hit.
- lmm 1y ago> only units which are accessible from the internet Sort of. Accessible via Asustor's own software which they'd been promoting to users, which I'm pretty sure had some kind of hole punching / bridge node setup so that you could use it even if you were blocking all inbound connections to your NAS. Obviously if you completely disconnect it from the internet in both directions then you're safe (but also can't get updates etc.)
