Abstract
Priority scanning of files written by malicious users in a data storage system is described herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a user lookup component that obtains identities of users that have made at least one modification to a first file stored on the data storage system, resulting in a set of modifying users; a comparison component that compares respective modifying users of the set of modifying users to respective malicious users of a set of malicious users; and a scan priority component that, in response to the comparison component identifying at least one match between a modifying user of the set of modifying users and a malicious user of the set of malicious users, assigns a first scan priority to the first file that is higher than a second scan priority assigned to a second, different file stored on the data storage system.
