      I'm not sure what the default is, but it is definitely easy to modify.

      Yes, making many copies quickly could cause an issue. But that could be circumvented with an approval workflow that makes a human verify new submissions. Although that could be very cumbersome.

      yeah, or something like, you can't check in more than X-1 versions saved in some stated period of time. Assuming you had 10 versions, it's pretty unlikely you'd be checking in more than 10 versions over say an 8 hour day. And if are a company that does that, then you simply increase the number of versions to compensate, but the masses would be covered.

        Yes, that would work well. Also checking in the same version should not trigger a new version to be created. So the encryption malware would need to alter the file in addition to encrypting it each time or else it would fail even with the incrementing numbers.
