'Mirai-like' botnet observed attacking EOL Zyxel NAS devices
www.theregister.com
Seems like as good a time as any to upgrade older hardware

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I’d just post it here…

It’s more to act as a reminder that if you’ve got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it’s behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I’ve used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I’d be interested to know if there’s other options that I’ve not heard of

    Agreed.

    If the hardware’s standard, then it’s possible for people (us) to keep these things out of the ground / incinerator for a few more years, but if it’s custom / proprietary stuff, then that’s just terrible.
