General Security Steps?
Hello all, Our Polycom system was hacked into recently, and it resides on the same network as our ReadyNAS. I’ve fixed the vulnerabilities on the Polycom, but am now worried about the ReadyNAS Pro ...
A VPN would be more secure than port forwarding.
Of course if Windows systems can write to the NAS, they can destroy NAS data if compromised. There's no real way to avoid that. Still, part of the Windows instruction should be not mapping network shares to drive letters.
Timed lockouts on wrong passwords would be a nice security feature, hopefully Netgear will add some stuff like that (though probably only to the OS6 line)
