does firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.4561 fix the whole FTP & icloud issue of people seeing/hacking into an attached hard drive on the router?
Yes. Its technically not a hack or exploit just people using bad default settings and the new firmware alerts you if you try and use those default settings like sharing FTP and Samba shares without an account.
