Are Network Attached Storage drives safe from hackers?
questionmarkinthedark asked:
Having a Network Attached Storage (NAS) Hard Drive on my home network sounds like a great way for my family to be able to automatically back up all of our computers and share data. One I’m looking at even let’s you access the data remotely through the internet. I feel relatively safe about my computers because I have firewall software running; but how do you protect a NAS drive from intruders? Are there router settings that can help protect it? If so, please be specific. Or if this is not a security concern, why not?

A good hacker can get pass any firewall!! Do not keep bank records on it or any thing that is personal pass words and the like if you set up a pass word for your network that is 7 digit’s long that makes it harder to crack. Gregory F
