So my EX2 (not an Ultra) has apparently reached its end of life per WD’s definition and therefore have stopped supporting the device including the update of Firmware. At least that is what I interpret from this linked site.
Is it safe to keep using this device? The latest firmware is from January of '19 but WD updated the firmware of many other My Cloud devices including the EX2 Ultra later in the year to fix security vulnerabilities. It’s unclear to me whether the EX2 had similar vulnerabilities that WD chose not to fix or if those same/similar vulnerabilities did not exist on this device.
If it’s not safe to keep using it what else can I do with it? I kind of want to learn more about apps that can be side loaded (?) or to otherwise use it to learn anything else I can. As an inquisitive but relative newbie, what interesting things could I play around with to get my feet wet in such an environment? I’m terrible with the Command Line but know enough to be dangerous and I know of and have interest in SSH. So that’s a reference point for my ‘newness’.
Thanks for your insight and recommendations in advance.
