Useful context from @callouscomic:
Misleading headline.
From a different site:
with attackers demanding a $150,000 ransom in “baguettes,” an obtuse reference to the company’s headquarters being located in France. In reality, the attackers are looking for payment in Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency.

That’s so stupid, I would demand that ransom in baguettes, ham and butter instead
