Sounds like its affecting people using the My Book live service to access it over the internet
Just wow though... Hopefully its not actually doing something like overwriting the data with random bits and just deleting the pointers to the file in the MFT. If the latter case, the data can be easily recovered
- grrowl 5y agoI would hope (but I do not expect) Western Digital to recover the data for the end users. This is a really bad situation for some.
- munk-a 5y agoThe article mentions that a factory reset was performed on the devices. Factory resets usually leave the data in a readable state depending on how paranoid the developers coding them are - you're not usually going to run shred -n 11
- crazysim 5y agoI don't know whether to hope the factory reset resets by keys erasure or not. If it doesn't, the affected users stand a chance for recovery.
