Just for info. I know it's not really quite this list, but I can't quite make out what is affected. I get the impression this is referring to NAS systems, so it's outside our remit. But to me, "Seagate NAS" is actually a raid-suitable disk drive, so it makes me wonder whether it's hacked drive firmware... unlikely but eminently possible ...

Grimes, InfoWorld, 20 Sep 2016 An under-the-radar news story proves that computers are far from the only devices prey to attack http://www.infoworld.com/article/3121338/security/seagate-nas-hack-should-scare-us-all.html opening text: No fewer than 70 percent of Internet-connected Seagate NAS hard drives have been compromised by a single malware program. That's a pretty startling figure. Security vendor Sophos says the bitcoin-mining malware Miner-C is the culprit. [At peak, seek to tweak the weak link. This reeks of leaks that peek as well.
