No surprise, this has been many, many months in the making and the signs have been there.

Typically these groups wait until the botnet reaches a certain size and then flips the switch and activates it.

I like this little tid-bit of info:
Disproportionately impacted are the 1.1 million QNAP NAS users within the United States (554,481) and China (550,465) – representing nearly 80 percent of total global infections, according to a recent mapping of QNAP devices visible online.
QNAP and Security appear to be polar opposites. :roll: :roll:
