In a security advisory published yesterday, QNAP told its customers: "A recently reported malware is known to affect QNAP NAS devices. We are currently analyzing the malware and will provide the solution as soon as possible."

While the advisory's severity was given as "high", the company said that the types of affected products were "to be confirmed". QNAP did not comment further when The Register invited it to do so.
Affected folk were urged to manually install the latest version of QNAP's MalwareRemover product, detailed instructions for which are at the security advisory linked above. In addition, QNAP also dished out the standard advice for ensuring all apps on NASes are up to date.
