Hypothetical - WannaCry > Sharepoint?

Hi Everyone,

Let's say that a company got hit by a new virus (wannacryv2) and all users had a mapped network drive to a company sharepoint site.

In theory, would the data in sharepoint be encrypted by the virus? or would Microsofts servers stop it

Thanks

If its Office 365 I believe you have to request they restore the whole site collection and not individual Files and/or doc libraries.

Don't suppose you have a link saying that, just doing a BCP for work and this could be quite critical for us. Thanks.

A reason to get rid of shared drives. For security sake.

What about the pointer for onedrive found in explorer? Technically it acts as a folder within the users profile c:\users\username\onedrive. Assume that a virus would look in the profile as well, infecting onedrive and syncing back to the cloud?
