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 ...
Which ReadyNAS model do you have, and what firmware is it running?
Also if you right-click on on the "computer" pane you will see "add a network location". That will let you put a shortcut to \\nasname\sharename in the computer pane.
You might need some help getting one set up. But it is more secure. Some SOHO routers have VPN functionality built in. One decision is whether the VPN should allow general access to your network, or just reach the NAS.

Some malware (crytolocker being one) infects mapped drives, but not shares. What you can do instead is create desktop shortcuts to \\nasname\sharename - and then just click on them.
