[QUOTE="Oblivion99, post: 1085707, member: 105415"] Dear all I have several offline backup data systems. It would be a disaster, if somehow the offline backup data systems got infected with a time bomb / timed walware – and then the time bomb would execute after several years. It could be: Malware that deletes all the data Malware that overwrites all the data Malware like ransomware that will encrypt the data I have effective deterrences, such as don’t visit shady websites, don’t open shady links, updated OS and run scans often. 1. Has anyone heard about time a bomb / timed walware, that either delete all the data, overwrite all the data or encrypt all the data? 2. If it happened, what could I do to solve it? Encryption: Try to decrypt the data Delete all data: ? Overwrite all data: ? Thank you Best regards [/QUOTE]
