Qlocker Ransomware

Release date: May 21, 2021
Security ID: QSA-21-12
Severity: Critical
Affected products: QNAP NAS running HBS 3

Summary

A ransomware campaign targeting QNAP NAS began the week of April 19th, 2021. The ransomware known as Qlocker exploits CVE-2021-28799 to attack QNAP NAS running certain versions of HBS 3 (Hybrid Backup Sync).

Once a NAS is infected, the ransomware moves files on the NAS into password-protected 7z archives. Snapshots are also removed, and users are left with a !!!READ_ME.txt ransom note in each affected folder. To extract the files from the archives, victims would need to enter a password known only to the attacker.

We have already fixed the related vulnerability in the following versions of HBS 3:

  • QTS 4.5.2: HBS 3 v16.0.0415 and later
  • QTS 4.3.6: HBS 3 v3.0.210412 and later
