Nampohyu

Post by andymed »

Hi I have a AS204-TE and it's been infected with Nampohyu. Has anyone else encountered this yet or had any success removing it / recovering their data? Avast / Defender did not protect me.

Seems that this is a well known issue with NASs. Why haven't Asustor mentioned it on here?

This is a well known issue, when you allow file access to your NAS from Internet (do you really need that?) and do not set a proper password to your admin account. It is like leaving your home with a key under doormat.

Asustor is not able to keep their software packages up to date, so do not expect they will teach you about good security practices...

You may try this software to decrypt the files AFTER YOU SECURE your NAS. Don't ask me how to use it and if it works.

Your other options - wipe everything and restore from backup (which you should have, if your data is important) or pay the ransom and pray criminals will provide you with decrypting software.
