Hackers Demand $125k Ransom in Baguettes from Schneider Electric

The ransomware group Hellcat claims to have breached Schneider Electric's systems, threatening to leak 40GB of sensitive data unless their unusual ransom is paid.

Hellcat, a newly formed ransomware group, has demanded a $125,000 ransom from Schneider Electric, to be paid in the form of baguettes.
The breach involved unauthorized access to Schneider Electric's Atlassian Jira system, compromising critical data including projects and over 400,000 rows of user data.
Hellcat has threatened to leak the stolen data unless the ransom is paid, but offered to halve the demand if Schneider publicly admits to the breach.
Schneider Electric has confirmed the breach and is investigating, stating that its products and services remain unaffected.
While the demand for baguettes is likely a joke, Hellcat is believed to be seeking payment in Monero, a cryptocurrency favored for its privacy features.
