  1. Does google drive and one drive backup ransom ware encrypted files?


    Thought just came to me, that if you setup those services to backup certain folders, and you get hit with ransomware, do those ransomware encrypted files get uploaded and now you have lost the backup on those internet drives?

  2. Encryption and Google Drive

    Hi Melissa,

    I realize that you want to know the encryption solution for Google Drive.

    When you encrypt a computer with BitLocker, all the files/documents on the computers will be encrypted, when you share these encrypted files you need a encryption key to open these files. Since you are using Google drive, you may please contact google support
    to know how encryption works in Google drive.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    New Trojan that Demands a Ransom

    There is a new virus out there discovered by virus hunters known as "Cryzip". The Trojan encrypts your files and then demands a $300 ransom for the decryption password to get your files back. After encrypting the files, the virus leaves a nice step-by-step guide of how to go about paying the ransom off. It's supposedly spread through email Spam, and has successfully evaded anti-virus scanners.
