Look at the name of this journalist reporting on the Ashley Madison leak...

The most perfect coincidence ever.

EARLIER TODAY, HACKERS released the details of over 32 million members of the cheating website site AshleyMadison.com.

Wired reports that hackers released 9GB of data on the so-called “dark web” yesterday. Names, addresses and credit card details of AshleyMadison.com users were reportedly included in the dump.

This afternoon, the Financial Times reported on the leak and now it’s going viral — but not for the reason you may think.

Just look at that byline name.

FT FT

Madison Marriage.

Her name is Madison Marriage!

The FT has a reporter called Madison Marriage. There was only one story for her today. http://t.co/dxSBA8lvgb

What a beautiful coincidence.

Some reporters were just born to cover certain stories. Beautifully asymmetric headline/byline. @miss_marriage pic.twitter.com/NgjpvJtSUw
