For the last time: You are too self-centered. Attacking small, inconsequential users individually is almost certainly a waste of time. The likelihood of it happening is IMO near zero.If I'm understanding correctly you are saying someone will be able to hack into 1Password's internal programming code that runs their software stored on my computer alter it slightly and reupload it to my computer. Also, my computer's antivirus will not detect this.
They will then be able to download my list of URL and associated passwords.
Is that it?
Yes, that is one of a near infinity of malware scenarios. I cite it because it has already been observed in the wild more than once.Or are you saying that some hacker will get access to 1Password's programming code from 1Password's servers make some changes, upload the infected files, and somehow broadcast those changed files to hundreds of thousands of 1Passworld's users?
If the backups are accessible to the malware, say on an NAS, then they will have been encrypted too. If not, then you still have the risk that the machine was already infected when you backed it up.As far as anyone locking my files on my computer and demanding ransomware, well, that's why I back up everything important. I'd just say no to them, go buy another computer and spend a couple of days hassling with restoring my files and software.
This is my last response to you. I'm just not interesting in arguing. Believe what you like.
