Remove Hoffmx Ransomware
The Hoffmx Ransomware is a threat, which can cause long-lasting damage to your files. It will append the extension '.hoffmx' to files it locks. It also delivers a ransom note in Portuguese, titled 'leia_isso.' Unfortunately, there is no free decryption tool that the victims of the Hoffmx Ransomware can use.
Hoffmx Ransomware Ask Victims to Pay via Ethereum
The criminals offer to sell a decryptor, but we assure you that trying to pay for it is not a good idea. The criminals might take your money without offering anything in return. They also demand for the payment to be completed via a 0.45 Ethereum payment. It is quite uncommon for cybercriminals to use Ethereum for payments – typically, they rely on alternative cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Monero.
The Hoffmx Ransomware ransom note also advises users to contact the criminals via Telegram for additional details and questions. Unfortunately, they do not seem to offer a test decryption of any files, so you will not even get a chance to restore some of your files.
If you are one of Hoffmx Ransomware's victims, you should not consider completing the ransom payment. Instead, victims should run an anti-malware application to dispose of the threat, and then try out alternative data recovery options.
