Apple puts so much pressure on security, shouldn't it be possible to block ransomware somehow on the OS level, possibly on all platforms?
I mean not many apps need to modify millions of files on all drives including network drives and dongles... It should be fairly easy to spot, something like:
1. If xxx wants to modify more than 50 files in 24 hours go to 2.
2. If some of the files were modified more than a week ago or if the files are in directories across multiple drives go to 3.
3. If some of the files are images/documents it's a no go, prompt user to accept and list the affected files.
I'd love something like this for my Synology, it's connected to my Macbook as a network drive and I store my backups there, if anything modifies these files without my knowledge I'm doomed. I need to access some of my backups on daily basis so it's kinda hard to disconnect te drive all the time :/
