I'm not sure that's entirely fair. No internet device is infallible. Other NAS vendors have had similar levels of bugs leading to exploits. QNap [1], FreeNas [2], WDC [3] and Seagate [4] for example all have their own issues. Added to that, any device that is inscurely configured as default [5] is going to get hacked. FreeNas is open source. It has exploits, though notably easier for savvy customers to dig into why they got hacked in the first place. The real question here is why people need to expose their NAS drives to the internet. I personally don't have a fast enough internet connection to make hosting anything useful. Notably I did try and share my photos with friends and family, but the upload on my DSL is so dire it was a painful experience for all involved. - [1] http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/10080/Qnap.html http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/10080/Qnap.html - [2] http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/9964/Freenas.html http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/9964/Freenas.html - [3] http://www.cvedetails.com/product-list/vendor_id-12782/WDC.html http://www.cvedetails.com/product-list/vendor_id-12782/WDC.h... - [4] http://www.cvedetails.com/product-list/vendor_id-11967/Seagate.html http://www.cvedetails.com/product-list/vendor_id-11967/Seaga... - [5] http://www.drobospace.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=141894 http://www.drobospace.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=141894
