[Discuss] Mothballing Synology NAS

Mon Feb 5 15:07:18 EST 2018

I have a QNAP TS-231 (dual bay SMB NAS)
https://static.myqnapcloud.com/device_model/53466f86d6b82f5cd5295b28?r=1517796001

QNAP offered this security advisory on Jan. 8th
https://www.qnap.com/en-us/security-advisory/nas-201801-08

And have released firmware upgrades since then ( 2018/01/30 ) QTS
4.3.3.0448 Build 20180126

However, they don't mention anything in the release notes yet
https://www.qnap.com/en/releasenotes/ so I'm unsure if it's "in there".

They advise:

   - Do not install applications from unknown third-party sources.
   - Do not open or run unknown virtual machine (VM) images on your device.
   - Do not run unknown software in Container Station.
