Hello,

We had a malware attack and several of our files were appended with a ".mekwyk" extension. Since the Box desktop app was running on the infected PC, all these corrupted files were uploaded to Box.

When the extension is deleted and the file is renamed, the file is still not workable.

It appears that ".mekwyk" extension is a new file extension. 

Is there anyway that we can restore from a specific point in time - say 12:30 PM Saturday, 21 Jan, 2023?

Thanks
