June 28, 2021

Western Digital customers who had configured the company�s external
hard drives to be remotely accessible are waking up to find all their
data erased. WD has downplayed the problem, hiding its response in a
support update. Should WD be addressing the problem more visibly, or
is this a case of �buyer beware?�

According to Krebs on Security, some customers using WD�s �MyBook
Live� product found all their data mysteriously and unrecoverably
missing. The affected customers had used a feature to make their
drives remotely accessible through the Internet. WD had stopped
selling the vulnerable devices in 2014.
