Here is an interesting question:

How long will it be before this type of encryption malware is roving and will attack the data on any backup device that is plugged into the infected system? That scares me more than an initial infection.

Many Ransomware variants will go after any drive plugged into a system. This also includes NAS drives.

A year ago
It also attacks mapped network drives, and apparently in some cases network shares.
