#WD MY BOOK 3TB LIVE UPDATE#

Our investigation of this incident has not uncovered any evidence that Western Digital cloud services, firmware update servers, or customer credentials were compromised. A sample of this trojan has been captured for further analysis and it has been uploaded to VirusTotal. This indicates that the affected devices were directly accessible from the Internet, either through direct connection or through port forwarding that was enabled either manually or automatically via UPnP.ДЄdditionally, the log files show that on some devices, the attackers installed a trojan with a file named вЂњ.nttpd,1-ppc-be-t1-zвЂќ, which is a Linux ELF binary compiled for the PowerPC architecture used by the My Book Live and Live Duo. The log files we have reviewed show that the attackers directly connected to the affected My Book Live devices from a variety of IP addresses in different countries. We are reviewing log files which we have received from affected customers to further characterize the attack and the mechanism of access. In some cases, the attackers have triggered a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device. 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.

We are actively investigating and we will provide updates to this thread when they are available.вЂќ вЂ“ Western Digital At this time, we recommend you disconnect your My Book Live from the Internet to protect your data on the device. We understand that our customersвЂ™ data is very important. The My Book Live device received its final firmware update in 2015. In some cases, this compromise has led to a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device. вЂњWestern Digital has determined that some My Book Live devices are being compromised by malicious software. They believe that attacks were conducted after some of the My Book owners had their accounts compromised. Update 5:45 PM EST: Western Digital told BleepingComputer that they are actively investigating the attacks but do not believe it was a compromise of their servers. Keep me posted if you have any questions regarding them.Also alerted by here: WD My Book NAS Owners Heads Up!ДЄnd the BleepingComputer link there has now added: Once you have the new NAS, you can simply copy all your needed files from the WD My Book Live onto the WD My Cloud and still use both as you wish. You can choose from various capacities and I believe these might be a better home Plex server options for you. Both of them have the Plex app available and can be installed through the Dashboard. Since you want to use the NAS as a Plex Media server, I'd suggest you to look at our consumer personal cloud series: the WD My Cloud and he WD My Cloud Mirror (Gen 2).

WD My Cloud EX devices are a part of our expert series NAS and have either 2-HDD or 4-HDD bays. This is our NAS/RAID drive and it's specifically designed to withstand the workload and the 24/7 environment of a NAS, thanks to its NASware 3.0 firmware. Since you wish to have one of WD's NAS systems, it's highly recommended to use a WD Red drive. I doubt that the WD My Book Live has a WD Red, because it's an older external HDD model.

Even though the WD My Book Live is not compatible with Plex, I'd not recommend you to dismantle it and use it on the WD My Cloud EX.
