Someone hacked into Hobbes website this morning and found the IP address for my Netgear NAS box that stores Hobbes website on and all its data. They did a reset on the Admin password and then setup a ReadyNASOS service to wipe the Netgear system back to factory settings. Notice the "Alert configuration was saved" entry is setting the Admin password back to default...
Jun 10, 2025 11:07:31 AM System: ReadyNASOS background service started.
Jun 10, 2025 11:07:28 AM System: ReadyNASOS service or process (readynasd) was restarted.
Jun 10, 2025 10:55:08 AM System: ReadyNASOS background service started.
Jun 10, 2025 10:53:30 AM System: The system is rebooting.
Jun 10, 2025 10:31:00 AM System: ReadyNASOS background service started.
Jun 10, 2025 10:30:54 AM System: ReadyNASOS service or process was restarted.
Jun 10, 2025 10:10:48 AM System: Alert configuration was saved.
Admin password was reset at 10:10:48 am this morning. 220TB of data are now gone. I do have backups of the professional websites and I can recreate HOBBES but it is going to take some time.
When I noticed that my access to the Netgear system was no longer active, I did shutdown the system at 10:50 am per my last access to the NAS per my computer. I then turned it on at 10:53am to stop all services to find the problem of no access, only to find out that the background service started back up on its own and finished the process of wiping the volume and all drives.
The person that did this, is a really sick person. These commercial websites are my only means of income, which I will no longer have. I do send backups to the 4 companies every month, but the backups are about a month old now. More than likely I am going to lose those businesses.
It might be a day or so before Hobbes comes back up. Can you let everyone know, Thanks.
