Abstract

A cloud storage server accesses a plurality of server-stored files of a cloud storage account of a client device and determines that one or more compromised server-stored files from the plurality of server-stored files are affected by a malware activity. The cloud storage server determines a plurality of recovery options based on an identification of the one or more compromised server-stored files and the time at which changes to the one or more compromised server-stored files became affected by the malware activity. The plurality of recovery options comprises a suggested restore point identifying a restore time to which changes to the one or more compromised server-stored files are reverted. The cloud storage server transmits a recovery notification that indicates the plurality of recovery options to the client device.
