I understand if I am correct, probabilistic lower bound with 0.01 probability, upper bound to the loss with 0.99 probability.

Another lock-in is that for a sane backup experience you need to use iCloud storage (that is virtually unencrypted and available for lawful interception)

I think the real moral of this story is that (like the fun vulnerabilities on Flash and Java that we might remember), a combination of keylogger or strange daemon might be running suddendly on your machine, scanning your files, either on OSX or Windows. Simply visiting a website. So better (as said) is to use a separate VM to access trusted domains (and yes, also VMs aren't these days so trustable). Better to use 2FA and ciphering on-disk sensitive info and loose the habit (if any) of storing a large number of files that streams from locally mounted cloud accounts, like Google file stream, Onedrive files-on-demand and so on.

I have been a donating member of the now defunct everydns.net, acquired by DYN in the 2010, sadly then acquired by Oracle in 2016 for some strange reasons, probably because DB experts are always fascinated by DNS experts. Somehow I am then a VIP user of dyn/Oracle, and I have received two emails. One is the aforementioned, containing inflated marketing words for 'Action required please migrate to the best cloud (i.e. Oracle)', the other is 'don't worry, for you VIPs, DYN will remain a separate business unit. No action is required on your part at this time'. AT THIS TIME.

I think I will install for my personal domains a good chrooted bind (or powerdns) on a couple of public facing linux servers. AT THIS TIME sounds too intimidating to me.
