In the wake of the Ashley Madison breach, the destruction for its 37 million users has only just begun. The strangest information to come to light might be AC/DC's unplanned association with the hack heard around the world. As people attended the press conference following the hacking, they were confused why they were being handed the lyrics to the group's hit song "Thunderstruck."

According to Billboard, the police later explained that the group's iconic song - with lyrics including "caught in the middle of a railroad track" - greeted the site's employees when they logged onto their computers July 12. With millions of users personal details, credit card information and more exposed as well as suicides and extortion being linked to the hack, the site's parent company Avid Life Media is offering $500,000 reward to anyone who can provide information on the individuals behind the hack who are being referred to as the Impact Team.
