I did these things all at around the same time. I closed port 8080 on my router, changed the Allow/Deny list in the Control Panel Security section to only allow connections from the list and specified my internal IP range and I disabled whatever myQNAPcloud stuff was active.

Just some extra information I've gathered: I've had a lot of failed admin access attempts in the log starting from 3. I expect 99.9% of cases will be like me though where they wouldn't look this up until after they've seen it and stopped it in one way or another. That sounds great, I hope it helps someone. The encryption key would be stored in /mnt/HDA_ROOT/7z.log which you can then use to decrypt If you are suffering from the encryption and the proces is still running you can still get the encryption key by running this command:Ĭd /usr/local/sbin printf '#!/bin/sh echo 60000' > 7z.sh chmod +x 7z.sh mv 7z 7z.bak mv 7z.sh 7z I recently discovered that the QNAP Security Adviser periodically logs itself into the NAS as a regardless of having the default admin account disabled, have since turned it off for the same reason. In any case, I always presume that QTS and its associated apps are just about as insecure as they possible can be, and manage the NAS accordingly. The NAS had malware, and the only vector I can think of is HelpDesk, and I know that (at the time) the HelpDesk app (as well as others) does make outbound calls. When I picked up and continued the build, I noticed that the network activity was completely of of whack for what should be happening. The only QTS app the QNAP had was the HelpDesk, it was getting close to 4am, and I decided to pause the NAS build (it is now my seedbox) until the next day.

Many (if not most) people seem to forget that the HelpDesk app was used as a vector in the past, and QNAP very quietly plugged that hole, could be another one was found again.Ībout a year ago, I had a fresh QTS install on a TS-853 Pro get compromised overnight, I have no port forwards on the particular LAN segment (I have four different ISP connections) I use for new machine builds, and the LAN segment only had the TS-853 Pro and a LiveCD laptop connected to it.
