Do you mean you’ve had confirmation from WD that their next firmware release will include the fixes that have been developed to address these vulnerabilities?

all of these have been passed on to the engineering department.

a RTW date was not mentioned. but they sent my recommendation to setup a “security page” to the correct person.

I give them one week, after that I will buy somethine else and re-use the drive.

I have been in contact with support for about 2 weeks, but IMHO it takes too long,
