Hand over the dough or your 40GB of secret data is toast.

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.
