In this scenario, is the Network-Attached Storage attached to the network (and so theoretically vulnerable)?
It seems like the only “safe” option is a PC (+storage) that never attaches to a network, but that extremely limits its usefulness.

Perhaps a vulnerability still exists (for one offline NAS, only): I use dedicated NICs (on each end) to direct-link my online NAS (which is otherwise local network, only, on a separate NIC), for routine backup.
Perhaps this leaves a bridge-LAN vulnerability?
But one is entirely offline, as are all its clients (dumb TVs, mostly).
