If you have the vulnerable file types files in the local machine sync folders for those, then I presume if the local file gets encrypted then the encrypted version will get synced up to the cloud. The ransomware wouldn't be able to directly access a file in the cloud as I imagine it uses the Windows API.
One way back from this would be if you had volume shadow services working, which might let you step back through previous versions of a file. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Wed, 7 Oct 2015, at 04:52 PM, John Weller wrote: > Is CryptoLocker liable to attack cloud based data such as Dropbox, > oneDrive, > etc? > > John > > John Weller > 01380 723235 > 07976 393631 > > > > > > Kurt, > > The Cryptolocker ransomware only infected mapped drives (F:, G:.... etc) > and > > if your shortcuts on the desktop and elsewhere were all based upon URL's > > then Cryptolocker did NOT spread the infection.
