So I read an article in which they found some serious flaws in WD’s encryption in their portable drives back in october of 2015. I know WD said they were looking in to it, but i’m curious as to have these flaws been rectified? Encryption is relatively important to me for work and personal reasons. It’s a newer model my passport ultra 2tb.

Thanks in advance.

Got it, I thought for some reason it was a model nuumber, or atleast the first few characters were.
