Quora breaks out leak data on over 100 million users

Today's major data violations have been announced by Q & A site Quora, affecting over 100 million registered users. What was the "unauthorized third party"? According to CEO Adam D & # 39; Angelo:

Account Information, e.g. name, email address, encrypted (hashed) password, data imported from linked networks when authorized by users
Public content and actions, such as questions, answers, comments, quotes
Non-public content and actions, such as answer requests, downvotes, direct messages (note that a low percentage of Quora users have sent or received such messages)

Quora found the break on November 30 and said it is still being investigated. It has logged out all users and forces all accounts with a password to reset the password. It also said that the password data was salted and harsh to prevent attackers from using it, but to be careful, users should also reset passwords on their other accounts if they shared the same. There are emails that expire and inform the users about the violation, but right now all information available is organized in this FAQ.
