Some of Quora's user data was compromised, this includes: - Name
- Email
- IP address
- User ID
- Encrypted password
- Account settings
- "Personalization data"
- Questions, answers, comments
- Blog posts
- Upvotes
If your account was affected, you received an email from Quora on the email the account is registered to. More information is available at their help center: help.quora.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020212652Same drills as usual. If you use the same password on Quora and another site (which you shouldn't), change it. Keep yourself safe folks. Brian Krebs |

Update: I've requested my user data -- for science! (and to see what attackers have a hold of)

What is an "encrypted password"? bad security I hope by that they mean they actually used a key cipher, which would be hilarious. |
