Interesting question. It appears from what I have read that there is a 
lot of ransomware which targets files on SMB shares, and I expect these 
would find and encrypt anything shared from a VMS box by Pathworks for 
example.

Does this mean VMS is affected?

Given the ubiquity of SMB is there anything that could be done?
