.HOOP

📌 A .HOOP resource relies on the file documents which have been renamed and encrypted by the HOOP ransomware, typically associated with harmful malware shared and distributed by cybercriminals. The mechanics of such virus mechanics are the following: .HOOP object involves an ordinary file, such as an image or document, while the ransomware is holding hostage. It should be precisely mentioned that .HOOP extension entries cannot be decrypted and decompressed in any way. The virus becomes applicable when the mail recipient opens a ransomware electronic message, at this moment the integrated script runs and the harmful code is processed on the desktop machine.

How to open an .HOOP file?

📌 .HOOP disk objects are usually distributed in a common bundle with free distributives that are opened and operated as malware or adware bundles, indeed. If you formerly encountered, downloaded and set up a free product or app (particularly, the free analogue of proprietary or shareware solution, officially distributed on the commercial principle), obviously that is precisely the case when you installed and infected your PC with a .HOOP ransomware. As long as .HOOP files are shared in the encrypted form, you cannot simply open them in the accustomed way. Moreover, considering that ransomware objects are encrypted with the aid of an online private key, you cannot decrypt them as well.
