The 'force' mount option can indeed cause corruption. From the ntfs-3g
manual:
force Force the mounting even if the NTFS logfile is unclean. The
logfile will be unconditionally cleared. Use this option with
caution and for your own responsibility.
Though not necessarily this was the real reason but not using the
'Safely Remove' on Windows. Typically the manual of an external
hard disk also warns about this.
In fact, one can even lose data due to Windows bugs if things are
done correctly, as for instance this Microsoft article describes:
