ReadyNAS security issues (and 'MyPC Backup')

1 pointsby grpccalmost 11 years ago
I recently purchased a Netgear ReadyNAS 102. When I set it up, I chose not to register it and not to use the remote cloud backup options. Two things happened that give me cause for concern with it&#x27;s security:<p>1. The ReadyNAS emailed me in plain text the Administrator password I gave it.<p>2. Within an hour, I started getting <i>a lot</i> of phishing emails from &quot;MyPC Backup&quot;, informing me of nonsense such as &quot;Your backup was incomplete, please purchase xyz to fix it.&quot;<p>Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any suggestions?
