Pretty standard fare these days. This is basically ransomware, and unfortunately usually comes from a country where about the only direct response answer would be Seal Team 6.
If there is a good part to this is the crooks are relatively "honest" in honoring their payout. If they weren't the (dirty) business model wouldn't work very long.
That said, I'm willing to bet for 10K they could get their website completely rebuilt from scratch. Probably being a little greedy in this case.
