I think the problem is the “I understand the risks” bit. The average WD user probably doesn’t understand the risks; I’m not sure I do… And, sensibly, if the average user doesn’t understand the risks, they are choosing not to create an exception, because they’re not sure that it is safe to do so. If a browser warns me about SSL security, and tells me “legitimate banks, stores and other public websites will not ask you to do this”, it doesn’t give a very warm feeling about WD’s security, does it…?
My suspicion is that each MyCloud would require a unique certificate, and verifying those certificates is the problem. It’s probably okay…
Anyone have a good understanding of this issue, or know of a WD white paper on the problem?
