Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Hackers demand France’s Schneider Electric pay a $125k ransom in baguettes (www.tomshardware.com)

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.
