Sadly, that's yesterday news.
See here: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/249484 https://security.stackexchange.com/a/249484
> ... a newly discovered ransomware variant exhibits the
ability to detect and compromise partitions (including
hidden partitions), a behavior not thought to have been
seen before in ransomware.

quote from that link:
> At the time of discovery, FortiGuard Labs researchers
believed the ransomware was seeking out partitions to find
possible hidden partitions setup by systems administrators
to hide backup files. But further analysis confirmed an
even more advanced technique. The DarkSide Ransomware
variant seeks out partitions on a multi-boot system to
find additional files to encrypt.
