If any of you are using a QNAP device for storing photo's, films and other data then please stop what you're doing and go and run the latest malware remover on it.
If you don't know what a QNAP is don't worry this post isn't for you.
My NAS (Network Attached Storage) is now f**ked as I shut it down the moment I realised it was compromised, which was the wrong thing to do.
At worst we've lost some holiday photo's which is shit but ultimately not going to end the world...because there's no way I'm paying the ransom.
