Ask Slashdot: Could We Fight Ransomware With 'Unencryptable' Folders?
CaptainDork writes:I'm a retired IT guy and ransomware was not a huge thing 3-5 years ago (at least few victims were self-reporting) and I'm very curious about protection schemes. In my, now ancient, world we did not encrypt anything -- anywhere. Seems to me the trick would be to mark certain places as "unencryptable," similar to long-time attributes like "hidden," "system," "read-only," etc. Do solutions exist that would mark local data folders and backup drives as "unencryptable," and if not, do you think it could be done? If so, how? Leave your best thoughts and suggestions in the comments. Could we fight ransomware with 'unencryptable' folders?Read more of this story at Slashdot.
