TL;DR

Hackers are actively exploiting critical vulnerabilities in 92,000 D-Link network-attached storage devices, which can be remotely taken over by sending malicious commands through simple HTTP traffic. D-Link has no plans to patch the vulnerabilities in end-of-life devices, leaving them unsupported. The vulnerabilities, found in the nas_sharing.cgi programming interface, allow for remote takeover and have severity ratings of 9.8 and 7.3. The best defense is to replace end-of-life hardware or ensure it's running the most recent firmware, and to disable UPnP and remote Internet connections unless necessary and properly configured.
