Hipandahi Ransomware

The Hipandahi file-locker is a threatening piece of malware whose attack can cause devastating, long-term damage to your important files. The authors of the Hipandahi Ransomware may be spreading it with the use of fraudulent email attachments, pirated downloads, torrents and other shady content. Users who launch the Hipandahi Ransomware on their computers may lose access to many of their important files immediately because the ransomware will encrypt their contents. The full list of file types that the Hipandahi Ransomware targets is very extensive – it goes after documents, media, backups, archives and many other formats.

When the Hipandahi Ransomware damages a file, it adds the extension '.encrypted' to the file's original name. Another change typical for this file-encryption Trojan's attack is creating the 'How_to_decrypt_my_files.html' ransom message.

The message of the attackers tell victims that they cannot use free tools to recover their data, and their only restoration option is to pay for the services of the criminals. We assure you that sending money to Hipandahi Ransomware's creators is not the right move – they may take your money or try to extort you for another payment instead of fulfilling their part of the deal. It is worth mentioning that they offer to decrypt one file for free – victims just need to send it to hipanda@keemail.me or hipandahr@protonmail.ch.

As mentioned earlier, do not trust the attackers, and do not agree to pay them. Instead, use an anti-virus software suite to eliminate the Hipandahi Ransomware. After this, start restoring your files from a backup – if this option is not available, then we recommend exploring other popular data recovery tools.
