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 **** but ultimately not going to end the world...because there's no way I'm paying the ransom.
