[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1021139, member: 32260"] The victim does not have to be logged. It is only required that the attacker can log into this Dropbox account. There is another danger. The ransomware does not have to use encryption at all (great chances to fool the AVs). A few years ago I created a "Shakespeare ransomware" that easily bypassed several AVs (only for testing purposes). I simply used MS Office environment to replace the odd pages of documents with text taken from the Shakespeare drama. I wonder how big potential is hidden in the [I]Library of Congress.[/I] Of course, this would require uploading the documents or storing them in password-protected archives (encryption is more convenient).
