WD My Book NAS devices are being remotely wiped clean worldwide

"Western Digital My Book NAS owners worldwide found that their devices
have been mysteriously factory reset and all of their files deleted.
WD My Book is a network-attached storage device that looks like a
small vertical book that you can stand on your desk. The WD My Book
Live app allows owners to access their files and manage their devices
remotely, even if the NAS is behind a firewall or router.
Today, WD My Book owners worldwide suddenly found that all of their
files were mysteriously deleted, and they could no longer log into the
device via a browser or an app.
When they attempted to log in via the Web dashboard, the device stated
that they had an 'Invalid password.'(...)
It is believed that a threat actor performed a mass scan of the
Internet for vulnerable devices and used this vulnerability to issue
the factory-reset command."
