I recently watched a TV programme about these. I know Macs can't be infected by viruses but how about these e-mail scams where you click on a link and later find that all your files have been encrypted and can only be released if you pay?
I inadvertently clicked on one just now, hence the question, although no blackmail messages so far. Fortunately I not only back up to my permanently connected Time Capsule but also to a Time Machine which I disconnect after a backup, something I would recommend to anyone.
