RN10200 – .mars malware infection: please help with suggestions…
Hi, yesterday i noticed that last Saturday the .mars malware had infected the data on my NAS. Unfortunately also the back-up files. I back-up to offline usb in the weekends :-( All my data was encryp...
Thanks Stephen,
Mail is coming from the Ubuntu workstation and just backupped to the NAS. I will check the mail again, but till now I did not find any infected files.
I might scan my Ipad since in the past I used to copy files from it to the NAS as well.
I don't think I copied or moved any files from my (work) Windowslaptop to the NAS, but a check would do no harm.
I'll post the results.

If the windows laptop has write access to the NAS then it might be the source of the infection (even though you didn't move files).
