So it's got to be publicly accessable? A NAT'd device can't get hit from the outside?

- Scoundreller 5y agoDoesn’t seem to be what’s happened here. These WD devices were phoning home on scheduled intervals and it appears that got issued a factory-reset command, but only at the “quick” format level so everything might still be there but will need to go through a recovery procedure.
- SOMA_BOFH 5y agothey should stop phoning home if the device is end of life.
- londons_explore 5y agoI would take a guess this is not a 'hacker', but instead some mistake by a WD employee who was changing serverside software/config. Maybe even a disgruntled employee trying to wreak havoc...
