Advisory Summary
At this time, we recommend you disconnect your My Book Live and My Book Live Duo from the Internet to protect your data on the device by following these instructions on our Knowledge Base.
We have heard customer concerns that the current My Cloud OS 5 and My Cloud Home series of devices may be affected. These devices use a newer security architecture and are not affected by the vulnerabilities used in this attack. We recommend that eligible My Cloud OS 3 users upgrade to OS 5 to continue to receive security updates for your device

In general, we recommend using Internet-isolated solutions for creating and storing backups of important information. The isolation will prevent you from accessing backups remotely, but it will also prevent anyone else from accessing them remotely.

I could be wrong, but I think that attaching it to something other than the VM superhub might be a solution. I was looking into remotely accessing my WD Cloud NAS setup(24Tb RAID5), where it's connected to a separate router which is then connected to the superhub(not in modem mode). It wasn't going to be straight forward.
Known as Double NAT.

Double NAT is when you connect your router behind another router creating two different private networks. For example, connecting your NETGEAR router behind a modem/router provided by your ISP. Double NAT does not prevent your devices access to the internet but may cause problems with playing online games, opening a specific service port, connecting to a VPN tunnel, or visiting secure sites with SSL. Also, the devices connected to the first private network may not be able to communicate to the devices connected to the other private network.
