Western Digital’s My Cloud is still down, but there’s a workaround

From The Verge: It’s April 7th, and you know what that means? That’s right. It means that Western Digital’s cloud network has officially been down for five days.

On April 2nd (this past Sunday), the data storage manufacturer announced that it was experiencing a service outage impacting a whole bunch of products, including My Cloud, My Cloud Home, My Cloud Home Duo, My Cloud OS5, SanDisk ibi, and SanDisk Ixpand Wireless Charger. The company said that it was “working to restore service” and apologized for the inconvenience.

In the days that followed, we didn’t hear all that much. Western Digital issued a follow-up statement on April 3rd that said basically the exact same thing, as well as a press release clarifying that it was “implementing proactive measures to secure its business operations including taking systems and services offline.”

The Verge reached out to Western Digital for further information, but the company declined to comment. Hey, at least our email went through — other outlets seem to have gotten bouncebacks.
