Just wondering if the files in WSA cloud are stored encrypted? So if a hackers hacks into WSA cloud, would the files be safe?

 

Thanks!
Hello there!

 

Yes, it is encrypted.  While this post is a bit old, nothing has changed.  Webroot's Backup solution is encrypted and has never been hacked.
Also if you watch this Recorded Webinar https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie/Webroot-Webinar-Evolution-of-Encrypting-Ransomware-Oct-23-2014/td-p/152171 I'm sure he said there are 10 snapshots backed up (so I think maybe @ can remember) so even Ransomeware can't defeat Back Up and Sync he just said not to use the first couple of snapshots and pick a snapshot before infection it's a good learning Video, also all communication from the WSA Client to the Cloud is encrypted as well when it checks your files against the Cloud database.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel 😉
Thank you Daniel!

 

I did NOT know about the 10 snapshots.  That is awesome!  Needless to say, I have not had a chance to catch the replay of the Webinar yet... I think I know what I will be doing tonight!
Thanks!
Anytime!

 

Needless to say, we work as a TEAM around here.  No one knows everything, I just learned something on this question.  But together we have a lot of knowledge and love to help.

 

Come on back any time you have a question or a problem, or just want to say Good Morning 🙂
