Can a 314 ReadyNAS get hacked?
I am really worried : A few days ago I had to have tech support to me brand new 314 readyNAS. I was asked for my password by the online tech and left it in tech support mode for 12 hours until the ...
Could mdgm or someone else post a bit more information on how a readynas was hacked? Even if one does not enable port forwarding via ones router, but has run toggleSSH plugin for its intended purpose, allowing netgear tech support to access a system - does this leave a readynas vulnerable? If tech support gain access without port fowarding, I would imagine some with less honorable intentions might be able to access a system as well (I'm not expert).
Also, even if one did everything wrong and enabled root SSH and did have port forwarding on a router, wouldn't a strong password be protective?
What sort of hacking is taking place? Is there a malware package designed to affect the readynas out there we should know about? How does one check the integrity of one's system?
