A More Focused 4-Bay NAS From UGREEN – the DXP4800GT Review
UGREEN has moved quickly in the NAS market, and the DXP4800GT is one of the clearer examples of that. I first looked at this model when it appeared through UGREEN’s China-facing material, then again around Computex 2026 when it became clear that it was not going to remain a China-only product. Now, having tested the retail hardware properly, the DXP4800GT feels less like a minor variation of the DXP4800 range and more like a separate performance-focused branch of it. It still has the familiar 4-bay desktop NAS layout, but the AMD processor, dual 10GbE networking, U.2 support, ECC memory compatibility, and different approach to system storage make it stand apart from the Intel-based models already in UGREEN’s lineup.
The important thing is that this is not a NAS I would describe as universally better for everyone. It is more specific than that. The DXP4800GT is aimed at users who want faster networking, more internal storage flexibility, heavier multitasking options, and a bit more room to grow than a typical 4-bay home NAS. At the same time, some of the choices UGREEN has made, especially the 64GB eMMC system storage and the fact that ECC memory is supported but not included, make it a product that needs a more careful look before buying. On paper, it is one of UGREEN’s most interesting desktop NAS systems so far; in practice, the appeal depends heavily on whether its particular strengths match what you actually need from a NAS.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review – Quick Conclusion
The UGREEN DXP4800GT is a more specialised and performance-focused 4-bay NAS than the standard DXP4800 range. Its strongest points are the AMD Ryzen Embedded processor, dual 10GbE networking, U.2 support, ECC memory compatibility, 64GB memory ceiling, strong SSD performance, useful creator ports, and a very solid metal chassis. It is well suited to creators, homelab users, small teams, and anyone who wants faster networking and more internal flexibility than a typical 4-bay NAS. The main downsides are worth noting before buying. The 64GB eMMC system storage makes third-party OS installation less straightforward, ECC memory is supported but not included, and power use is higher than lighter Intel-based 4-bay alternatives. UGOS Pro is also improving quickly, but it is still not as mature as Synology DSM, QNAP QTS/QuTS, or TrueNAS for more advanced users. Overall, the DXP4800GT is not the safest generic NAS choice for everyone, but it is one of UGREEN’s most interesting desktop NAS systems so far. If you want dual 10GbE, AMD hardware, U.2 potential, and a modern 4-bay NAS that feels genuinely different from the usual options, this is a very strong release.

The DXP4800GT keeps the same general desktop NAS shape as UGREEN’s other 4-bay systems, but the presentation is noticeably different. The black and rose-gold finish makes it stand out more than most NAS devices, which are usually designed to disappear into the background. That does not change how the NAS performs, but it does matter if the system is going to sit on a desk, in a studio, or somewhere visible rather than being hidden in a cupboard. I still think most NAS buyers should care more about cooling, noise, drive access, and maintenance than colour, but this is one of the few desktop NAS designs that feels deliberately styled rather than simply functional.
The main enclosure remains metal all the way around, which gives the DXP4800GT a more solid feel than a lighter plastic-bodied NAS. UGREEN also keeps the removable mesh panel at the rear, which is useful for cleaning and basic maintenance because dust buildup around the rear airflow path can affect cooling over time. The chassis is still compact enough to sit in a normal home or office setup, but it does not feel like a budget enclosure. The design is not just about appearance; it also gives the system a more rigid structure, which is useful when running larger mechanical hard drives that can introduce vibration.
The 4 main storage bays are front-mounted, so drive access is straightforward. This is important for anyone who expects to add drives later, replace a failed drive, or test different storage configurations. The trays support the usual NAS role of holding larger 3.5-inch hard drives, but the interesting detail is what sits behind them. The internal backplane supports SATA, SAS-style physical connectivity, and U.2 storage support, giving the system more flexibility than a basic SATA-only 4-bay NAS. I was not able to test U.2 drives directly during this review, but the physical and platform support makes this one of the more unusual parts of the DXP4800GT’s design.
Access to the M.2 and memory area is handled through the base of the NAS. Underneath, there are 2 M.2 NVMe slots and 2 SODIMM memory slots, so upgrades do not require dismantling the whole unit. This layout is practical, and it keeps the faster flash storage and RAM separate from the main front drive bays. The M.2 slots are useful for SSD storage pools or caching, but it is worth remembering that they are connected over PCIe Gen 3 x2, which affects the top-end performance available from each SSD.
That does not make them pointless, but it does mean they are not being used as full-speed Gen 4 NVMe slots.
The one design decision I am less comfortable with is the 64GB eMMC system storage. Previous UGREEN NAS systems often used a small replaceable SSD-style module for the operating system, which made third-party OS installation more straightforward. On the DXP4800GT, the operating system sits on eMMC, and I could not see it presented in the BIOS in the same way as the main storage drives during testing. For users who plan to stay with UGOS, this may not matter much. For users who are buying UGREEN hardware specifically to install TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault, or another third-party platform, it makes the decision more complicated and gives the built-in software a larger role in the overall value of the product.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review – Ports and Connectivity
The DXP4800GT has a stronger external connection layout than most 4-bay desktop NAS systems, and the main reason is the inclusion of 2 10GbE ports on the rear. This is one of the clearest hardware differences between this model and the more conventional UGREEN DXP4800 systems. For users moving large video files, working with shared project folders, or connecting a workstation directly to the NAS, dual 10GbE gives the system a much higher ceiling than a 2.5GbE-only NAS. That said, the network ports do not automatically mean every storage configuration will saturate them. The drives, RAID type, SSD use, client system, and cabling all still matter.
The rear of the NAS also includes HDMI and USB connectivity, which gives the DXP4800GT more flexibility than a file-server-only appliance. HDMI output is useful because the system has AMD integrated graphics, and UGREEN also provides a dedicated HDMI portal application for local display use. This will not matter to every user, especially those who manage everything from a browser or mobile app, but it does make the system more versatile for media playback, local management, or a living-room-adjacent setup. It is also worth noting that this still depends on what UGOS allows users to do with that HDMI output in practice.
Around the front, the system includes USB Type-C and an SD card slot, which are both practical additions for creators. The SD card slot is particularly useful if the NAS is being used as a central storage location for photos or video footage, because it gives users a quick way to ingest media without needing another reader hanging off the system. The front-mounted USB-C port is also convenient for external drives, quick transfers, or temporary devices. These are not headline features in the same way as dual 10GbE, but they do make a difference in day-to-day use, especially if the NAS sits somewhere easy to reach.
The main limitation is that the external bandwidth is ahead of what every internal storage setup can realistically deliver. In my testing, the 2 M.2 slots were connected over PCIe Gen 3 x2, and even in RAID 0 they topped out well below the combined ceiling of the 2 10GbE ports. With SATA SSDs, performance was good for a 4-bay desktop system, but again not enough to fully stretch both 10GbE links in every scenario. This does not make the ports wasted, because they still help with multi-user access, direct-attached 10GbE setups, and separate workloads, but buyers should not assume that dual 10GbE means 20GbE-class storage throughput from any drive configuration.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review – Internal Hardware
Inside the DXP4800GT, the main hardware change is the move to AMD. The system uses an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor, which is a 4-core, 8-thread CPU with integrated Radeon Vega graphics. This gives the NAS a different profile from UGREEN’s Intel-based 4-bay models, especially for users who care about multitasking, containers, virtual machines, and internal storage flexibility. In raw CPU ranking terms, this is not automatically above every Intel option in UGREEN’s range, but that is not really the point of this model. The DXP4800GT is more about ECC support, U.2 capability, dual 10GbE, and the internal throughput advantages of this AMD-based platform.
The system arrives with DDR4 SODIMM memory, and my review unit came with 8GB installed. One slightly odd detail is that the installed memory module was rated at 3200 MT/s, while the official platform specification points to 2666 MT/s support. That does not mean the NAS runs at the higher speed, but it is worth noting because the memory configuration is not as simple as just reading the label on the module. The system has 2 SODIMM slots and supports up to 64GB, which gives it a good amount of headroom for heavier workloads. However, anyone planning a memory upgrade should be careful about buying suitable modules rather than assuming all laptop DDR4 memory will behave the same way in a NAS.
ECC memory support is one of the more important hardware points here, but it needs to be described properly. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 platform supports ECC, and UGREEN also lists ECC support for this NAS. In my testing, the system recognised ECC memory when installed, but the memory included with the system is not ECC. That means buyers should not assume they are getting ECC protection out of the box. If ECC matters for your workload, especially if you are using the NAS for business storage, heavier virtualisation, or long-term data handling, you need to factor in the cost of replacing the included memory with compatible ECC modules.
The internal storage layout is also slightly more specialised than the usual 4-bay NAS formula. The 4 front bays support SATA drives, but the backplane also provides support for U.2-style storage, which is uncommon in this class. I was able to test SATA SSDs and M.2 NVMe storage, but I did not have U.2 drives available for the initial review, so that part still needs follow-up testing. The 2 M.2 NVMe slots are useful, but they run over PCIe Gen 3 x2, which limits their maximum per-drive speed compared with higher-lane NVMe implementations. Combined with the 64GB eMMC OS storage, the DXP4800GT is a powerful but more curated hardware design than earlier UGREEN NAS systems, especially for users who normally buy these boxes with third-party OS installation in mind.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review – UGOS NAS Software
The DXP4800GT runs UGOS Pro, and in general use the software experience is broadly the same as UGREEN’s other x86 NAS systems. That is not a bad thing, because UGOS has improved a lot since UGREEN first entered the NAS space, and the basic user experience is now quite approachable for newer users. File management, shared folders, user permissions, mobile access, browser-based administration, storage pool creation, snapshots, scheduled power control, cloud backup, local backup, SMB access, and app installation are all handled in a way that feels fairly easy to follow. It is still not as mature as the longest-established NAS operating systems, but it is much more complete than many newer NAS platforms.
The main software features are what most users would expect from a modern NAS. UGOS Pro includes a native file manager, mobile app access, AI photo handling, dedicated multimedia applications, iSCSI support, 2FA, network controls, container support, virtual machines, SSD caching, SSD storage pools, and multi-site backup tools. The AI side of the platform is also becoming more visible, with photo recognition, AI-linked tools, and a dedicated AI portal for managing supported AI functions. For home users and small teams, this makes the NAS feel less like a bare storage appliance and more like a central data box that can also handle media, backup, containers, and photo organisation.
There are still some gaps, and they matter more on this model than they might on some earlier UGREEN NAS systems. At the time of testing, there is still no surveillance application, no WORM support, and no encrypted storage pools. The security scanner also remains fairly limited, because it focuses more on malware and virus checking than on broader NAS security hygiene. I would like to see it flag weak passwords, overpowered admin accounts, risky permissions, exposed services, and other configuration issues that often matter more in real NAS deployments. Those tools can be configured manually in different areas of the system, but I would prefer UGOS to bring them together in a clearer security audit feature.
The reason the software is especially important on the DXP4800GT is the 64GB eMMC operating system storage. On previous UGREEN NAS models, replacing or bypassing the original OS drive was more straightforward, which made the hardware attractive to people who wanted to install TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault, ZimaOS, or another third-party platform. With this model, the eMMC approach makes that route less clean. It may still be possible, but it is not as simple or risk-free as swapping out a small SSD module. Because of that, UGOS Pro is not just a bundled extra here. It is a bigger part of the value proposition, and buyers should be more certain they are happy with UGREEN’s software direction before choosing the DXP4800GT.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review -Noise, Heat, Power Use and Performance Tests
In storage testing, the DXP4800GT performed well, but it also showed why the internal storage configuration matters when judging those 2 rear 10GbE ports. With 4 SATA SSDs installed, I saw read performance around 1.3GB/s and write performance generally between 600MB/s and 700MB/s, rising closer to 1GB/s after changing block size settings. That is strong for a 4-bay desktop NAS, but it also shows that SATA storage alone is not always going to fully stretch both 10GbE ports at the same time. With 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs in RAID 0, I saw read performance just above 1.45GB/s and write performance around 1.1GB/s, which lines up with the PCIe Gen 3 x2 limitation on those M.2 slots. The system is fast, but buyers should not assume that dual 10GbE means every storage pool will deliver full dual-port saturation.
Power consumption is higher than a more modest 4-bay Intel NAS, but that is not unexpected given the AMD Ryzen Embedded platform, dual 10GbE, and wider storage support. With the main hard drive bays empty and only the 2 M.2 SSDs plus the OS drive active, I measured the system at around 25W idle. With 4 large hard drives installed, alongside the 2 M.2 SSDs, the unit sat around 45W with the CPU only lightly loaded. Under heavier testing, including multimedia activity, indexing, drive access, and CPU load, I saw peak power draw around 70W to 77W. That puts it above what I would normally expect from UGREEN’s lighter Intel-based 4-bay systems, so electricity use is one of the trade-offs of choosing this more capable hardware platform.
Noise levels were generally reasonable for a metal desktop NAS, especially considering I tested it with larger 24TB and 30TB hard drives. At idle, the unit sat around 36dBA to 38dBA, which is respectable for this type of enclosure and drive configuration. With SSDs, the number dropped by around 2dBA to 3dBA, but around 38dBA is effectively the floor I saw for this chassis during testing. When the fan was set to maximum, noise rose to around 45dBA to 50dBA from the front and about 50dBA from the rear, making the fan louder than the drives themselves. During active read and write activity with larger hard drives, the system again sat around 45dBA to 50dBA, though smaller 4TB to 8TB drives would likely reduce that by several dBA.
Thermal behaviour did not raise any major concerns in testing, but it is tied closely to the fan profile and the type of drives used. The chassis uses the same broad design language as earlier UGREEN 4-bay systems, but this model has a more demanding network and storage profile, so airflow matters more. The large rear fan, removable mesh panel, and metal enclosure help keep the system controlled, although pushing the fan to high clearly increases the acoustic footprint. In practical use, I would leave the fan on automatic unless the NAS is being used in a warmer room or with high-capacity hard drives under sustained load. The DXP4800GT has enough performance potential to justify a more careful setup than a simple backup NAS, especially if it is being used with SSD pools, U.2 storage, or heavier container and media workloads.
UGREEN DXP4800GT NAS Review – Verdict and Conclusion
The UGREEN DXP4800GT is not simply a faster version of the existing DXP4800. After testing it, I would describe it as a more specialised 4-bay NAS that makes the most sense for users who specifically want the combination of AMD Ryzen Embedded hardware, dual 10GbE, U.2 support, ECC memory compatibility, front-accessible creator ports, and a more distinctive metal chassis. The positives are clear: it is well built, visually different without being impractical, offers stronger networking than most 4-bay NAS systems in this class, and gives users more internal storage flexibility than a standard SATA-only design. The performance numbers are also good for a compact desktop NAS, especially when using SSDs, and the system has enough hardware headroom for Docker, virtual machines, media handling, photo management, and heavier file sharing duties. However, it is also not the obvious choice for every buyer. The 64GB eMMC system storage makes third-party OS use less straightforward than on previous UGREEN NAS models, ECC memory is supported but not included, power use is higher than lighter Intel-based 4-bay systems, and the dual 10GbE ports need the right storage configuration before they can be fully exploited.
For users who plan to stay inside UGOS Pro and want a compact NAS with stronger networking, flexible storage options, and more room for heavier workloads, the DXP4800GT is a strong addition to UGREEN’s NAS range. It is especially interesting for creators, homelab users, and small teams who can make use of the faster ports, SD card access, HDMI output, M.2 storage, and expanded memory support. For existing DXP4800 Plus or DXP4800 Pro owners, I would not treat it as an automatic upgrade unless ECC support, U.2, or dual 10GbE are genuinely needed. The software is also part of the decision now, because the eMMC system drive means UGOS Pro matters more to the overall package than it did on some earlier UGREEN systems. Even with those caveats, I think the DXP4800GT is a positive step for UGREEN. It shows the brand is willing to experiment with different NAS hardware platforms, target more demanding users, and offer something more distinctive than a routine 4-bay refresh. It is a NAS with some clear trade-offs, but it is also one of the more interesting and capable desktop systems UGREEN has released so far.

Synology is still best known for NAS hardware, DSM, backup software, private cloud storage, surveillance, and business data management, but its router range has always been an interesting side branch of the wider ecosystem and one that I have genuinely enjoyed reviewing. Products such as the RT2600ac, MR2200ac, WRX560 and RT6600ax appealed to users who liked the Synology software experience and wanted a router interface that felt closer to DSM than the usual consumer router web panel. SRM, or Synology Router Manager, gave users features such as Safe Access, Threat Prevention, VPN tools, mesh support, VLANs, firewall controls and relatively clean network management. For a while, that made Synology routers a sensible option for home users, families, home offices and smaller businesses that wanted more control without stepping fully into UniFi, MikroTik, pfSense or enterprise networking territory. However, with rising competitive options from UniFi that also raise the bar for hardware/software expectations AND troubling performance/stability reports appearing online by users, multiple times I have been asked by users “are Synology giving up on routers?”.
If it were just my own idle thoughts on the subject, I would not have made this article, but recently there has been a spate of posts online (several linked below) on this subject that range from references to unconfirmed conversations with Synology saying the router range is canned, to deeper discussions online about the performance of SRM (Synology router Manager) on the modestly powered current range of routers the brand offers:
Recent Synology Reddit Posts for Example:
Some questions about switching to a Synology router – HERE
Synology WRX560 — 75-day formal complaint, RAM deficit confirmed by Synology’s own data. Full timeline, evidence, and statutory route taken – HERE
In 2026, the question being asked by parts of the Synology community is whether the router range still has a meaningful future. This does not come from an official Synology statement saying the range is discontinued (and I can confirm that no-one at Synology has ever stated this to me – though the amount of Synology router hardware at tech events has diminished rapidly and stock levels outside of their official stores seems patchy). The concern is instead based on what users are seeing around the product line: older hardware, no WiFi 7 model, limited visible roadmap, and mesh products that feel increasingly dated compared with newer alternatives. Synology still publicly lists the RT6600ax and WRX560, and both remain WiFi 6/6e products rather than WiFi 7 replacements. The RT6600ax is listed as a tri-band WiFi 6 router with a 2.5GbE port, while the WRX560 is listed as a dual-band WiFi 6 router with a configurable 2.5GbE WAN/LAN port. It does seem oddly quiet when you consider the extent of availability of WiFi 7 routers in the market right now.
Why Users Are Asking Questions About the Router Roadmap
The recent discussion on Reddit shows the problem clearly: users are not only asking whether Synology routers are still good today, but whether buying into the range now is sensible if there is no obvious next step. One user asked directly whether Synology is “sunsetting” its router family, pointing out that the RT6600ax is from 2022, that the MR2200ac mesh extender has become hard to find in some places, and that there has been no public sign of WiFi 7 hardware. That is the core issue. A router can continue to work well for existing owners, but new buyers are usually looking for some confidence that the platform will still be developed over the next few years.
The discussion is also not entirely one-sided. Some users are still happy with Synology routers, especially those who value the firewall tools, Threat Prevention, Safe Access, VPN features and the familiar SRM interface. One user in the same Reddit discussion said their RT6600ax and older RT2600ac wired mesh setup had been “100% stable” with more than 50 devices, which shows that not every owner is unhappy or affected by the same problems. Others, however, are already recommending UniFi, MikroTik, Firewalla, ASUS or other alternatives, not always because Synology routers have stopped working, but because the range feels static. This is an important distinction for the article: the community concern is real, but it is still a mixture of user experience, market comparison and speculation rather than a confirmed end-of-life announcement.
Hardware Age, WiFi 7 and the Competitive Gap
The larger market has moved quickly since the RT6600ax and WRX560 arrived. WiFi 7 routers and access points are now widely available from several consumer and prosumer brands, and multi-gig networking is becoming more common in home and small business internet connections. That puts Synology in a slightly awkward position. The RT6600ax does include a 2.5GbE port, and the WRX560 also has a configurable 2.5GbE WAN/LAN port, but neither product provides the broader WiFi 7 and multi-gig direction that buyers may expect in 2026. For users with 1Gb internet and modest LAN needs, this may not matter much. For users with faster fibre, 2.5GbE switches, 10GbE NAS systems, or WiFi 7 client devices, it becomes much harder to justify investing in older WiFi 6 router hardware unless the price or software experience is especially compelling.
This is where Synology’s router range starts to look more exposed than its NAS range. In NAS, Synology can still lean heavily on DSM, Synology Drive, Hyper Backup, Active Backup, Surveillance Station, Snapshot Replication and long-term software familiarity. In routers, SRM is still a strength, but the hardware competition is more aggressive and refresh cycles matter more visibly. UniFi, ASUS, TP-Link, Netgear and others are fighting hard around WiFi 7, 2.5GbE, 10GbE, mesh, gateway appliances and app-based management. Synology does not need to match every one of those brands feature-for-feature, but the absence of any announced WiFi 7 router or updated mesh range makes the product family feel less active. That is not the same as proof of abandonment, but for buyers spending money today, perception matters.
SRM Support, Security Features and Reported WRX560 Problems
The software side is more complicated. Synology has not simply stopped updating SRM. Its official SRM release notes show SRM 1.3.2-9366 in 2026, and Synology’s Download Center for the RT6600ax still lists SRM 1.3 Series for the product. That matters, because it means “abandoned” would be too strong as a factual description. There is a big difference between a product line that is no longer moving quickly and a product line that has stopped receiving maintenance. Synology also still markets router features such as parental controls, web filtering, traffic control, threat prevention, VPN tools and network segmentation on current product pages.
At the same time, several user reports raise questions about whether the hardware resources in some Synology routers are enough for the full SRM feature set under real-world conditions. One detailed Reddit post from a WRX560 owner claimed that 2 WRX560 routers became unstable when running Safe Access and Threat Prevention, with diagnostic evidence pointing to RAM exhaustion and swap usage rather than CPU saturation. The post claims that CPU idle remained high, while available RAM dropped heavily and swap use increased, causing network instability and local device dropouts. The same user also stated that Synology Support confirmed there was no confirmed firmware fix or patch available to fully resolve the described behaviour, and that the suggested remedy was to disable marketed security features or reduce the number of connected devices. This remains a user report, not an independent lab test, but it is detailed enough that it should not simply be dismissed as a vague complaint.
No Official Discontinuation, But Confidence Is Clearly Being Tested
The strongest counterpoint is that there is still no public Synology announcement saying the router family has been retired. In fact, one Reddit thread discussing the topic was removed by moderators, with comments asking for proof and warning against unsupported claims. Several users in the discussion specifically asked where Synology had officially announced an exit from routers, and others pointed out that no such announcement had been found. That is why the wording here matters. It is fair to say that Synology’s router roadmap looks unclear. It is fair to say that users are questioning the future of the range. It is fair to say that the lack of WiFi 7 hardware is becoming harder to ignore. But it would not be fair to state that Synology has officially discontinued routers unless Synology confirms it.
There is also the SRM life cycle angle. Synology’s Software Life Cycle Policy lists SRM 1.3 as having reached general availability in April 2022, with the End of Maintenance Phase listed as December 2026 and the End of Extended Life Phase still “to be announced.” This does not automatically mean SRM is ending, because policies can be extended and new SRM versions can appear. However, in the absence of new router hardware or a clearly communicated SRM 1.4 direction, it adds to the uncertainty. For existing owners, this means the practical advice is not to panic if the router is stable and still receiving updates. For new buyers, the calculation is different. Buying into a router ecosystem is not just about whether the current product works today, but whether the platform looks active enough to support future devices, faster internet connections, newer WiFi standards and ongoing security expectations.
Overall, Synology’s router range appears to be in a holding pattern rather than an officially abandoned state. Existing RT6600ax, WRX560, RT2600ac and MR2200ac owners may still have stable, useful systems, especially if they are not pushing the routers hard with advanced traffic inspection and larger mesh environments. But for new buyers in 2026, the case is less comfortable than it used to be. The lack of WiFi 7 hardware, no clear public roadmap, ageing mesh options, user complaints around advanced SRM features, and stronger competition from UniFi, ASUS, MikroTik, Firewalla and others all make Synology networking harder to recommend without caveats. Until Synology either releases new router hardware or clearly explains where SRM and its router ecosystem are going next, the question is not whether Synology routers still work, but whether the company is still treating routers as an active long-term product line.

Tout se joue dans une conversation polie avec l'assistant IA du support de Meta, le robot conversationnel censé dépanner les utilisateurs quand ils ont un souci avec leur compte.
Le principe tient en quelques étapes. Le pirate se connecte d'abord via un VPN, un outil qui maquille sa localisation, pour faire croire qu'il se trouve dans la ville de sa victime et ne pas déclencher les protections automatiques d'Instagram.
Ensuite, il ouvre une discussion avec le Meta AI Support Assistant et lui demande tout bonnement d'ajouter une nouvelle adresse e-mail au compte ciblé.
Le robot envoie alors un code de vérification vers l'adresse fournie par le pirate. Celui-ci renvoie le code au chatbot, qui affiche aussitôt un bouton pour réinitialiser le mot de passe. Nouveau mot de passe, et le compte change de mains.
Le plus dingue, c'est qu'à aucun moment l'attaquant n'a eu besoin de toucher à la vraie boîte mail de la victime. Pas de phishing élaboré, pas de faux site à monter, pas de malware à glisser. Le support officiel faisait tout le travail à sa place.
Côté victimes, ça pique. Le compte de la Maison-Blanche de l'ère Obama, inactif depuis 2017, celui du sergent-chef de l'US Space Force John Bentivegna, ou encore celui de la chercheuse en sécurité Jane Wong, qui a raconté s'être fait voler le sien. S'ajoutent plusieurs comptes aux pseudos très courts, ceux qui se revendent cher au marché noir, dont la valeur cumulée dépasserait le demi-million de dollars.
L'attaque a été mise en scène dans une vidéo de démonstration, publiée fin mai sur Telegram par un groupe de pirates pro-iraniens, avec un mode d'emploi qui a tranquillement circulé sur plusieurs canaux.
Heureusement, il y a un garde-fou. L'exploit ne marche pas contre les comptes protégés par une authentification à deux facteurs, ce deuxième code demandé en plus du mot de passe, souvent reçu par SMS. Même la version la plus basique de cette protection suffisait à bloquer les pirates net.
Chez Meta, le porte-parole Andy Stone affirme que le problème est réglé et que les comptes touchés sont en train d'être sécurisés. Un correctif d'urgence a été déployé , et l'entreprise précise qu'aucune base de données interne n'a été piratée. Le trou était dans le chatbot, pas dans les serveurs.
Reste le fond du problème. Pour Ian Goldin, chercheur en cybersécurité chez Black Lotus Labs, ces assistants IA ouvrent une toute nouvelle surface d'attaque, et on va sûrement en voir beaucoup d'autres du même genre dans les mois qui viennent.
Bref, un chatbot conçu pour rendre service qui finit par surtout servir les pirates, c'est le genre de bug qu'on n'avait pas avec un bon vieux formulaire.
D'après le site américain Media 404, des hackers seraient parvenus à détourner le chatbot d’assistance de Meta pour prendre le contrôle de comptes Instagram. Une faille simple, basée sur la fragilité des gardes-fous de l'IA.

Le support de Meta, quand vous contactez Instagram pour un souci de compte, c'est 100% IA maintenant. Je l'ai fait y'a pas longtemps et c'est assez surprenant, même s'il faut le reconnaître, ça fonctionne bien. Et si je vous parle de ça ce matin, c'est que pendant des semaines, ce chatbot a refilé l'accès à des comptes à qui savait lui raconter la bonne histoire.
Et c'est pas un exploit de génie ni une faille bien planquée mais juste un bot de support trop serviable à qui on explique qu'on s'est fait pirater, et qui envoie le code de réinitialisation... sur l'adresse mail de l'attaquant. Oui, il est aussi précautionneux de vos accès que votre gardien d'immeuble ^^.
En gros l'attaquant écrit au support IA, prétend être le proprio d'un compte "piraté", demande à recevoir les codes sur son email et l'IA accepte l'adresse sans sourciller. Hop, un petit lien de reset, un nouveau mot de passe, et le vrai propriétaire ne voit rien venir !
Bon, ce n'était pas magique non plus, mais une fois le bot embobiné, il lâchait l'accès.
Le truc à retenir surtout, c'est que la
double authentification
, elle, a bien fait barrage. Les comptes qui l'avaient activée n'ont pas été pris, donc si vous traînez sur Insta sans, allez l'activer tout de suite !
Parce que les dégâts ont été bien réels. Des comptes à grosse visibilité y sont passés, dont le compte dormant @obamawhitehouse et ses millions d'abonnés, qui s'est remis à publier n'importe quoi avant d'être nettoyé.
Des groupes Telegram s'étaient montés autour de ces prises de contrôle, des chercheurs comme ZachXBT ont suivi le mouvement, et les pseudos courts comme @hey valant une petite fortune se sont retrouvés sur le marché noir. En gros, un vrai business du vol de compte a été monté sur le dos du chatbot !
Y'a 10 ans, c'était déjà la récupération de compte qui faisait tomber des comptes Facebook encore aujourd'hui le maillon faible n'a pas changé...
Meta a corrigé le problème en urgence et dit avoir sécurisé les comptes touchés.
Si vous pensez être victime, direction "Mot de passe oublié" puis "Mon compte a été piraté", et une fois récupéré, vérifiez bien que l'email et le numéro liés au compte sont les vôtres (l'attaquant a pu les remplacer) avant de dégager les sessions inconnues. Pour le reste, un petit tour par
les bons réflexes de sécurité
ne fait jamais de mal.
Bref, activez la double authentification et j'espère qu'un jour, les grosses boites arrêteront d'utiliser l'IA pour garder leurs clés.
Face à la pénurie mondiale de composants provoquée par l'essor de l'intelligence artificielle, le constructeur américain Corsair a commencé à intégrer des puces mémoire d'origine chinoise dans ses barrettes DDR5. Une évolution discrète qui marque une percée historique de la Chine sur un marché jusqu'ici dominé par les géants sud-coréens et américains.
Origin Code lève le voile sur un nouveau kit mémoire DDR5 de 48 Go cadencé à 6 200 MT/s, accompagné d'un waterblock doté d'un écran LCD intégré. La société prévoit de présenter l'ensemble au Computex 2026, sans encore communiquer sur les tarifs ni la disponibilité.
Le PDG de Silicon Motion tire la sonnette d'alarme : la pénurie mondiale de mémoire DRAM et de stockage NAND, alimentée par la course à l'intelligence artificielle, pourrait durer jusqu'en 2028. Les prix devraient continuer à grimper, et les consommateurs comme les entreprises devront s'armer de patience.
Les trois principaux fabricants de mémoire ont lancé les premières phases de développement du standard DDR6, alors que le marché de la DRAM traverse une période de tension persistante sur les prix.
D'après des fuites non confirmées, Google pourrait lancer le Pixel 11 avec une quantité de RAM inférieure à celle de la génération actuelle, conséquence directe d'une pénurie qui touche l'ensemble du marché électronique et qui fait déjà bouger les prix chez plusieurs fabricants.
Cette progression fait suite à une augmentation déjà significative au premier trimestre, où les prix de la LPDDR5X avaient progressé de 58 % à 63 % en glissement trimestriel.
Le fabricant sud-coréen de semi-conducteurs envisage de distribuer en moyenne 477 000 dollars par salarié, une décision qui suscite des réactions mitigées dans le pays.
Les deux géants sud-coréens de la mémoire ont décidé de ne plus proposer que des contrats pluriannuels à leurs clients. Une décision qui soulève des questions sur la trajectoire future des prix.
Après des mois de hausse continue, les prix de la mémoire DDR5 connaissent une baisse significative chez plusieurs revendeurs américains, une tendance qui pourrait être liée au dévoilement de l'algorithme TurboQuant de Google.
