Comment on Help getting started with self hosting Jellyfin via NAS?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 day agoSo then if I’m evaluating a worst case for what I plan to use this NAS for, it would be that an attacker gains access to movies that I have on my shelf, CDs that I have on my shelf, books that I’d have the right to redownload as long as the place I bought them from is still in business, and my own save files for DRM-free video games that Heroic Games Launcher currently tells me not to rely on them for syncing back to GOG.com. At which point, if some attacker found a vulnerability and locked my NAS from me, they’d have caused me an annoyance in that I’d have to reformat those drives and re-rip that media. With no sensitive information intended to be on this thing, it seems pretty low risk, right?

That’s one risk. Someone could use it for a bot net or other attacks. Or he could try to escape the device and hack into other devices on the LAN. But also, it depends on the reward that a hacker can get. Is the expected reward worth the work to hack into your server?

You’re a stranger on the internet. Even if I was so petty as to blame you, I’d have a hard time tracking you down, haha.
