Backdoor Account in Western Digital MyCloud NAS Devices

January 9, 2018 By Ty Cahill

If you own or use a Western Digital MyCloud network storage device, listen up! Several security vulnerabilities were found last year by researchers, and Western Digital has recently fixed the problem…but you’ll need to update the firmware on the device. The problems include a backdoor account and other vulnerabilities that together can allow attackers to gain full access to the device. And once they’re on your NAS, they have full access to every other machine on your network.

Check if your MyCloud is vulnerable and update the firmware as soon as possible.

  • MyCloud
  • MyCloudMirror
  • My Cloud Gen 2
  • My Cloud PR2100
  • My Cloud PR4100
  • My Cloud EX2 Ultra
  • My Cloud EX2
  • My Cloud EX4
  • My Cloud EX2100
  • My Cloud EX4100
  • My Cloud DL2100
  • My Cloud DL4100
