This is beginning to sound more serious.

I actually had not had any experience with the Synology products, but some of the machines I work with do have some NAS devices attached so this I thought might bear some looking into.

Think I’ll start doing some checking when I go out and about today to perform some security checks.

Here's one of Synology's official statements. It appears this only affects DSM4.3 and earlier:

SynoLocker Ransomware Affecting Synology DiskStation

From the post:

Based on our current observations, this issue only affects Synology NAS servers running some older versions of DSM (DSM 4.3-3810 or earlier), by exploiting a security vulnerability that was fixed and patched in December, 2013. At present, we have not observed this vulnerability in DSM 5.0.
