is it possible that this new ransomware virus some how infected my NAS shares? not the shares but linux OS itself? i am runnign 6.6.0
Thankfully I keep private files under password on other account so only copies of movies and games have been infected.
My NAS forward 39076, 29897, router forward 22333 and well... yes, NAS was on DMZ.

So all unsolicited inbound traffic was forwarded to the NAS, including the ports used for SMB. I think that the DMZ was also the vector for you - since only shares with anonymous read/write were affected.
BTW, if nothing on your home network is infected with the malware, then I doubt that the files were actually encrypted - that would require a lot of resources to do remotely. More likely a hacker would just delete them, and create new stuff that looked encrypted megalocker.
