Except perhaps Mac and Linux users, as usual.

However, encrypting all the files on your computer should take a some
time, so if you're paying attention you can probably tell something is
not right. If you do as I do, alternate between two backup drives that
are only plugged in while backing up, you'll at least only lose your
current work.

Shared drives on a network are probably at risk as well.

Sounds like surfing the web with a phone or tablet is the right way to
live. No web browsing with your development machine!

Best regards, Bob
