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.

While I despise all these hackers these days, I feel like these companies deserve it, for their utterly non-existent data handling protocols.

TIL that Schneider Electric is a French company. I always assumed it was American or Swiss.

Well, obviously? What else do you demand to go with your cheese?

But they’d go rock hard stale before you got through 4 of them!
