Synology NAS Ransomware Attack Due to Neglected Updates

Reddit user NakamuraHwang suffered a ransomware attack on their Synology DS918+ NAS after exposing the web interface to the internet and neglecting critical security updates for roughly 18 months. The breach exploited CVE-2024-10441, a remote code execution flaw revealed a year and a half ago, though the user's 3-2-1 backup setup prevented total data loss.
