Another victim here. Location in WA, USA. According to the files modification my NAS was hit on 2-23-2019.
I did noticed on that day the the NAS was working really hard while I was watching TV, and I was not trying to access anything on it.
I got suspicious of it, and disconnected the NAS.
Not thinking about it too much, I reconnected it and then access the files, and everything seemed fine until I days later when I decided to open up a file and got the message "This file is not supported."
I have been searching the net for solutions and to no avail.
All my data is on the NAS, and I always intended to back up my data to and external USB drive as well for my 3rd layer, I never got around to it.
So I am stuck, years of information and crucial data locked away.
After reading this thread, I noticed a member stated they logged in and looked at there user accounts an noticed different groups and users where created.
I just now realized I cannot even login with my admin or own user account because it does not recognize me or my credentials.
This is embarrassing and stupid on my part. But the biggest take away is that I have lost everything from precious photos, to custom files I had created for my small business.
I have my NAS on my home network hooked up to the main router.
I should have used multiple networks to try to at least hide the NAS, but never thought I would have this issue.
If anyone has any advise for trying to recover the data I would appreciate it.
I might still have a IDE back drive where all the older files were from but its a 50/50 chance that drive is still viable.
