Quora hack
Among the information of Quora users that has been compromised, we find the usual data (name, email and password). Also the content of the account itself has been affected. This assumes that comments, votes or questions have been exposed. It can be a lot of information, although in general it should not be a big problem, since there is no data such as addresses or bank details on the web.
Users who have received this email, who are the affected, are recommended to change their password to access the web. Also, in case they use this password in more cases, they change others. To avoid possible problems.
Quora has been aware of this problem since November 30, last Friday, so it is all very recent. We hope to know more about how this hack happened, as well as who is behind it.
