Network attached storage maker QNAP’s customers have reported being hit by a mystery strain of old-school malware that disables software updates by hijacking entries in host machines’ hosts file.

The malware’s full effects are, as yet, unknown – but users have reported that the most visible symptom is that some 700 entries are added to the /etc/hosts file that redirect a bunch of requests to IP address 0.0.0.0.
