Re: [Trisquel-users] Ransomware in Trisquel/Ubuntu

[onpon4]

Since ransomware targets personal files, a typical GNU/Linux system would be  
just as vulnerable as Windows if someone bothered to target it (assuming they  
can convince you to run a trojan horse). You should keep in mind, though,  
that all kinds of things can destroy personal data, such as a simple hard  
drive failure. This is why regular backups are essential.
