Western Digital Ransomware Attack: Hackers Ain’t Happy

I have no idea if the hackers claims are legit in this article. If they are true then EVERYONE needs to change to local only access (no WDCloud) and block all external access to your WD NAS immediately!

Hackers who knows if they lying or not… claim that WD knowingly mislead details to the Feds about the intrusion. I honestly would be inclined to believe WD is completely clueless.

I would also not update your WD firmware as who knows if hackers already have implanted code into WD official firmware.
