>Don't you love it when the PC weenies get bitten by their own? Ouch. According to that article a person opened an e-mail and suddenly her laptop and her cloud backups were "instantly" corrupted by 'ransom ware'... Wow. Lots of ouch... More OUCH! since she was cheated by this statement ' KnowHow cloud ... was "military safe" '. Only a baby will fall for that 'military safe' story. I don't remember where I read years ago that using cloud as backup storage makes you vulnerable to a cloud operator. To this day I am using several external hard drives and re-writeable CD/DVD to backup all my documents, e-mail container files and software to folders with names like 'Backup <date of backup>'. Not only I have backups, but I do versioning also. I have a iPhone cell, but am NOT using any cloud backup or something like that. Simply because I don't store anything of value on that toy. Then there is Wi-Fi which is dangerous enough, but that is another story for another day.
