Thecus, safe from Heartbleed bug

Apical has announced that every product line of Network-attached storage expert Thecus is safe from the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug.

While Thecus NAS does make use of OpenSSL, the specific branches adopted by Thecus's software development team are, in fact, entirely unaffected by Heartbleed (as it only affects versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f). Thecus developers quickly established that Thecus devices were never vulnerable to malformed heartbeat requests. Given the importance of confirming system vulnerability, a number of media outlets have reached out to

With a number of other hardware manufacturers rushing to release new firmware, reports have started to emerge suggesting that, since the Heartbleed vulnerability was accidentally introduced in March 2012, a number of parties have grown aware of and exploited the loophole.
Thecus NAS has been some of the few devices fully immune to such intrusions over the past two years. As networks worldwide recover from potential intrusions, Thecus users can trust that the insight and expertise that protected their NAS from the Heartbleed bug are still hard at work designing the next generation of advanced hardware and software and are protected from data theft.
