A hacking incident that occurred in 1996 is still considered one of the most representative cases of "internal sabotage" in U.S. history. Dissatisfied with being fired, a senior network administrator maliciously implanted a "time bomb" on Omega's servers before leaving, deleting over 1,200 critical files and programs overnight. Omega did keep backups, but did not follow the 3-2-1 backup principle. Backups were kept onsite in a closet where the aforementioned network administrator had sole access to. With the backups stolen and the server timebombed, production ground to a halt at Omega, resulting in substantial losses. This cost Omega approximately $10 million in losses and resulted in unemployment for 80 employees. This case became the first federal-level computer sabotage case in the U.S., highlighting the importance of data backups and information security. This is because Omega did not follow the 3-2-1 backup principle and keep secure offsite backups.
Thirty years ago, many companies lacked a proper backup mindset; thirty years later, companies have options, and the best options are ASUSTOR NAS devices as part of your 3-2-1 backup strategy. For large companies, the ASUSTOR Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 rack-mounted NAS series is the best option for backing up data and keeping it safe. |

The Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 series supports Seagate IronWolf® Pro 30 TB high-capacity hard drives, with the 16-bay model offering up to 480 TB of storage space. If you are a Petabyte power player, connect an Xpanstor 12R expansion unit through a SAS controller to add another twelve bays, ensuring your ASUSTOR NAS grows alongside you and your business. Combined with ASUSTOR's MyArchive cold storage technology, NAS hard drives transform into removable archival hard drives, plug and play, making it easy to access data and keep it safe.

At ASUSTOR, our commitment to data security is first and foremost. To keep your data safe, we continuously update all aspects of our software. Updates prioritize information and data security first. This notice announces the end of partial feature support for affected NAS devices starting from ADM 5.0 due to the termination of vendor driver and/or software support.
- Certain video formats will no longer be supported
Updated libraries in ADM are not compatible with the ffmpeg patches provided by Realtek. This affects NAS ASUSTOR NAS devices running Realtek CPUs. Which means hardware-accelerated transcoding will no longer be supported after upgrading to ADM 5.0. Only video formats natively supported by the browser will remain playable, while transcoding commonly used formats may not play properly.
- USB IP printer support will be discontinued
Regrettably, components of the USB drivers in the following NAS models are incompatible with ADM 5.0. This means USB IP printer functionality, that is, connecting to a USB printer plugged into an ASUSTOR NAS through ASUSTOR Control Center, will no longer be supported in ADM 5.0. Only network printer functionality will be available.
Affected devices: Drivestor (AS1102T, AS1104T), Drivestor Pro (AS3302T, AS3304T)
