Jun 24, 2016 8:05 PM in response to Beshingtonby Loner T,I have seen two instances of ransomware which carried a read-write HFS+ driver and caused havoc. This specific driver was derived from OpenSource linux variants (Ubuntu, Fedora) and ported to Windows.
There is nothing on the horizon yet, that currently has a CoreStorage OS X driver for Windows.
I suggest either using OS X FileVault2 to encrypt the OS X side, or converting the OS X HFS+ volumes to CS LVG/LVs and avoid future issues.
Good backups for both OSes should be user first line of defense, where you can wipe and/or replace the internal disk/flash and bring sanity to the Mac.
