Western Digital My Book Storage Devices Are Being Remotely Erased

The whole point of using a network-attached storage device is to have a hard
drive where you can back up important data and then access the files over the
internet while you're out and about. But unknown hackers are turning Western
Digital My Book NAS hard drives into nightmare backup tools by compromising
users' devices and then deleting all the data from them. The My Books are
controlled by an app, WD My Book Live, which allows customers to access their
data remotely and manage their NAS. But users worldwide are reporting that
their devices have been hijacked and wiped. When they attempt to log in and
gain access, the remote management dashboard says �Invalid password.�
