Best Asustor confirmed to be the victim of Deadbolt ransomware

ASUS subsidiary Asustor Inc. was reported to have been hacked, causing its network storage device (NAS) to be kidnapped by the deadbolt blackmail virus. Asustor confirmed the incident in a press release, stating that the team is investigating the root causes and solutions of the blackmail virus.

Asustor, which was founded in August 2011, is an ASUS subsidiary that was directly invested in and established. With the meaning of "ASUS storage," it establishes its own brand "Asustor," focusing on NAS design and R&D and integration of related hardware, firmware, and applications.

According to an Asustor official, in response to the deadbolt, my suitor has temporarily suspended Com DDNS service. The team investigates the underlying causes and solutions to the blackmail virus.

The news media According to Tom's hardware, the deadbolt kidnapping attack method hasn't changed much. It mostly infiltrates the victim's device from the outside, then encrypts the user's data and requests bitcoin in exchange for redemption.

If a user discovers that his NAS has been kidnapped and attacked by deadbolt, Asustor recommends that he unplug the network cable and turn it off first (press the power switch for 3 seconds until you hear the beep), and then leave personal information to Asustor's technicians, who will be contacted further.

Asustor also reminded users that in order to protect their data and avoid a deadbolt kidnapping attack, they should change the default ports such as ADM 8000 and 8001 and Web Services 80 and 443, close the EZ connect service, and immediately back up their data. Disable the SSH and SFTP services if you don't need them.

At the moment, the attacker has not requested a ransom from Asustor but may use the same blackmail method as Unicom, that is, pay five bitcoins and reveal the details of the attack vulnerability to Asustor for them to repair; another option is to pay 50 bitcoin. The hacker will send a set of general unlocking passwords to the company, which will process all injured users' NAS devices at the same time. However, it is believed that some victims were blackmailed and asked to pay 0.03 bitcoin (approximately $1154).

Asustor has yet to issue a statement regarding the deadbolt attack. The best way to deal with it now is to turn off the NAS system and wait for Asustor to repair it. Some users claim that some models, such as as6602t, as-6210t-4k, as5304t, as6102t, or as5304t, are not infected; other models affected are as5304t, as6404t, as5104t, and as7004t.
