12/23/2023 0 Comments Twonky wd my cloud![]() ![]() Our Public files are not secure in any way shape or form. What this means is that our Public files are available to anyone and everyone that can figure out the pathway to get to them. All they need is the pathway to get to our files. They do not need a password or any means of security to access my files. I can very quickly and very easily send non-password protected links out to anyone on the internet to access my Public files. They are available to anyone on the intenet that has the pathway to get to them. No, our Public folders are not just available to our network users. I understand that WD pays very little mind to their forum, but I am hoping to get ther attention since trying to use their customer support in the past proved pointless. ![]() This is a severe security flaw that others have been ranting about in this forum for years and WD has obviously done nothing about it. As I stated in my previous post, all that is required to get to our files is the path. The movies were strewn with torrent signatures/files. I came to that conclusion because it was very apparent. Just a reminder: this is a customer forum, and there are very few WD employees here they’re identified as such below their user name. I note your post seems to be addressed at WD. Whilst they may be slow to respond to known security vulnerabilities (and I have moaned about this), they have responded. WD have taken measures to provide device security they haven’t ‘done nothing’. Like ISIiS, I’d look to your local security procedures first…Īny system is potentially vulnerable to dedicated hackers note the cases of hacking attacks on US Government websites, cloud services, corporate websites, etc. How did you come to this conclusion? Whilst I’m not saying it is impossible, it would be the first report of an actual hack I’ve heard of here. We need the password free folder access from within our networks to be able to stream to our media devices, but YOU need to provide a method of locking down access, via your software, from outside our home networks! I am utterly appaled that you have not done anything about this before now! When are you going to fix this?Īpparently, a hacker was using it as some sort of torrent upload/download site Why have you done absolutely nothing to eliminate this severe penetration capability on the millions of WDM圜louds you have produced and distributed?!?!?!?!?!? This is only my opinion, but this severe security flaw hints at absolute and complete incompetence on your part. Could you please tell me how this has happened?!?!?!?!? Other forum members have been expressing concerns for YEARS about the possibility of this very same occurence. I am a computer science undergrad student within a semester of graduation, and I have been using computers since the late 1980s. I have also performed a Kaspersky deep scan on my computer and all of my network drives with no malware found. I use a password manager, and use the strongest password options available for all of my accesses. I use a high end LinkSys router with all the security implemented, ie, firewall, https, dmz turned off, mac filtering, etc. Apparently, a hacker was using it as some sort of torrent upload/download site. I just found about 30 movies uploaded to my WDM圜loud Public folder. ![]()
