The domain was previously registered to the law firm Greenberg and Lieberman, LLC.

Looks like the domain sold around April 16th.

Western Digital already owned the domain name WDC.com so they upgraded from a three letter to a two letter .com.

The domain name WD.com was first registered back in 1994 by Western Design and stayed in their possession until 2010 when someone apparently bought it putting it in their attorney’s name for safekeeping.
