Network hardware-maker QNAP is urging customers to update their network-attached storage devices immediately to protect them from a new wave of ongoing ransomware attacks that can destroy terabytes of data in a single stroke.

Singapore-based QNAP said recently that it has identified a new campaign from a ransomware group known as DeadBolt. The attacks take aim at QNAP NAS devices that use a proprietary feature known as Photo Station. The advisory instructs customers to update their firmware, suggesting there is a vulnerability that’s under exploit, but the company makes no explicit mention of a CVE designation that security professionals use to track such security flaws.

The advisory applies to the following devices:

  •     QTS 5.0.1: Photo Station 6.1.2 and later
  •     QTS 5.0.0/4.5.x: Photo Station 6.0.22 and later
  •     QTS 4.3.6: Photo Station 5.7.18 and later
  •     QTS 4.3.3: Photo Station 5.4.15 and later
  •     QTS 4.2.6: Photo Station 5.2.14 and later
