My concern is that if I get hacked by one of those ransom schemes that what I have in ICloud will be seen as well.
i have shortcuts on my desktop to some of the folders I have in ICloud for easier access and that is what I am deleting
along with some folders on my desktop.
From you are saying it doesn’t make any difference because even though they would not be able to get into iCloud on my computer they will be able to get to my folders that are in iCloud anyway.
I hope that makes sense.
i actually have put some of the folders into a external drive that I have in iCloud but if they hack my computer
they will be able get to my external drive
as long as it is attached. Right? I should protect it with a password or disconnect it until I need it.
sorry so long but I did get hacked once but did not pay but it was hard to reconstruct everything luckily I had backups made of a lot of things.
Thank you.
