Western Digital erased data from most user NAS

Firstly: if you have any NAS from WD, it is best to unplug it immediately. An update that scatters the NAS and deletes all data began to arrive yesterday, it flew in to me this morning. Home NAS from WD have been on sale for the last 10 years.

Exactly zaffekchina entire live series. Judging by the comments, some other episodes also suffered.



* WD claims that this is all a hacker attack. But it looks dubious. Many people have a NAS behind a firewall, disconnected from external WD servers, etc.





It amazes me that:





  1. After the first messages appeared, WD did not stop rolling out updates. An update arrived an hour ago.





  2. It's been 24 hours - there is no official response . Ah yes, the response was , but not in a prominent place.
