[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 501649, member: 7463"] Originally ransomware didn't seek out files created by imaging software, but that changed with BandarChor about 2 years ago which added tib files to the encryption list (actually it only encrypted the first part of the file, as doing the whole thing would have taken too long, but that was enough to leave the file corrupted). The bad thing about Acronis is that it is so widely used that it is tops on the Blackhats list, unlike others- personally I haven't seen anything try to mess with mrimg files (Macrium). But Umbra gave the best advice with the external backup method. Aside from protection against malware, it will also protect against a drive dying of natural causes. [/QUOTE]
