How does one corrupt their /efs partition?

Wouldn't you have to deliberately target this partition in some manner? I can only see a risk if someone were flashing a complete twrp backup that includes the /efs partition, but that's about it.

I backed up my /efs via twrp and uploaded it to a cloud storage provider. A few days later, I made a second /efs backup on my sdcard, however I would never think of regularly backing up this partition, as it should never need to be restored.

So yeah... my question is how would someone mess this partition up?

^ same here. Been an android superuser since day one.

Backed up the efs on this device, and also my galaxy nexus because twrp allowed me to... Just no idea how one corrupts the partition.

I wanted a local backup on my sdcard. Deleted the original for some reason.

I just uploaded mine to my Google Drive. Never done it in the past but thought I'd do it this time to be safe!
