*IMPORTANT* LOCK3D/C3RB3R ransomware has been reported on @Synology NAS devices. PHP2Shell is a separate critical PHP vulnerability. Update DSM and affected packages in Package Center, or disconnect your NAS from the internet until you can patch. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=vFCuqRNY…

Hi! Bit of a long shot here, but I will be in Japan in a few weeks to attend @CEATEC_JAPAN and @JapanITWeek . While I am there, it would be great to visit Japan-based storage vendors whilst I am there, eg @TOSHIBAJapan or @BUFFALO_jp_info (I will come to you!). robbie (at) NC
