Dear all,

yesterday, i visited a seminar for data security.
during the meeting our attention was drawn to something called ransomware, at this moment a lot of synology equipement with older fw face issue with beeing hijacked.
does anyone know if buffalo suffers similar issues, and if there is a solution to it.
as we are currently running three buffalo nas systems.

looking forward to any reply

What is the name of the ransom ware program? if anything putting permissions on a folder and not saving those permission on a pc will mostly stop any ransom ware from hijacking you. Since your stopping it at the permissions level. Even then i wasnt aware of ransom ware jumping from pc to pc with out some kind of action taking place for the ransom ware to do what its suppose to do
Units I own: TS-XL, TS-WXL, LS-WVL, TS-RXL,  TS5400, TS-RVHL,

I don't work for Buffalo but i do love there products enough to help people
