I guess the lessons learnt are
- make sure you have the latest firmware
- put the devices behind a firewall & dont open up ports for a backup device
- any device that has ports open to the internet has some risk. This includes IP cameras, security cameras, modem/routers,DVR's

You have to wonder the wisdom of giving access via the internet to backup devices.

The trick is to make yours less vulnerable than the fool next door so hopefully they give up and target someone else.
