# What happened?
All your files have been encrypted and made inaccessible. This includes

# Why Me?
This is not a personal attack. You have been targeted because of the inadequate
security provided by your vendor (QNAP).
# What now?
Visit your QNAP machine in a webbrowser and follow the instructions to
get your files back.
