Western Digital discloses network breach, My Cloud service down
- NKosmatos 4y agoActually it's down since yesterday with nothing more informative posted on their status page: https://status.mycloud.com/os4 https://status.mycloud.com/os4 I pity those who trust their own data and rely on 3rd party companies, your data are only yours if you have them locally. Yes, it's nice and convenient to have everything online, but that's the 2nd or 3rd place you should store your data. From what I've read, the problem is that many people relied only on MyCloud, so they had a single point of failure in their workflows :-( Store your data locally, store your backup on another device/medium (preferably at another location) and finally store a 3rd copy online (even better if you store different copies online at different cloud providers). You're guaranteed not to lose your data or access to them. P.S. I own a WD My Cloud "NAS" and I have disabled Cloud Access :-)
