[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1040210, member: 55987"] From what I know once ransomeware has taken control of your PC it'll encrypt (and with other devious purpose) where it can write. So offline drives and cloud drive are protected........sort of. The ransomware can remain dormant in the encrypted offline and cloud drives until restoration takes place when the drive is mounted. However, with the 3 methods mentioned, as long as the drive is mounted ransomware will just add a second layer of encryption over it making your data irrecoverable without the decryptor key. Looks like I'm wrong here.........correct me if I'm wrong. So what granting write access, having secret partition etc are useful to recover your data without the decryptor key? [/QUOTE]
