For those of you with QuickConnect I would HIGHLY recommend you disable it unless you absolutely need it. And if you are using it, make sure you have strong passwords and 2FA on, disable default admin and guest accounts, and change your QuickConnect ID to something that cannot be easily guessed.

I seems my QuickConnect name was guessed and as you can see from my screenshot I am getting hit every 5 seconds by a botnet consisting of mostly unique IP's, so even if you have AutoBlock enabled it will not do you much good. This is two days after disabling QuickConnect entirely and removing it from my Synology Account. Not sure if I need to contact Synology to have them update the IP of my old ID to something else like 1.1.1.1 for it to stop.

To clarify, they still need a password to do any damage, but this is exactly what they were attempting to brute force. Luckily it seems like they didn't get anywhere before I disabled QuickConnect.
