I hope no one has been effected. Lots of customers from all over the world haven't been so lucky.
Last Updated: June 24, 2021 Description
Western Digital has determined that some My Book Live and My Book Live Duo devices are being compromised through exploitation of a remote command execution vulnerability. In some cases, this compromise has led to a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device. The My Book Live and My Book Live Duo devices received its final firmware update in 2015. We understand that our customers’ data is very important. We are actively investigating the issue and will provide an updated advisory when we have more information. Advisory Summary
At this time, we recommend you disconnect your My Book Live and My Book Live Duo from the Internet to protect your data on the device.
