Shares removed by Ransomeware
We recently were attacked by ransomeware. it removed the shares from the readynas, but the directories and files are intact when you browse the ready nas from explorer or map a directory on the nas....
Then it didn't really remove the shares. So please be more specific on where you cannot see them that makes you think they were removed.
The shares would not show up in the share listing on the admin page. Snapshots would not work nor replicate. I fixed it by using restore system from an earlier date.
all working now
Was that through the local UI or ReadyCloud that they didn't show up? Or both? I wonder if the ransomeware got to it via UPNP? I never thought of that as a possible access point before, but I suppose it could be.
Good to know you found a solution, and thanks for sharing. I hope to never be in your shoes, but now I have some amunition if I do end up there.
