Question-and-answer site Quora says a security breach impacted 100 million of its users. Data involved included everything from people’s names to how they voted on others posts.
Maybe the question Quora really needs to answer is how someone was able to hack into its systems and gain access to the personal data of 100 million of its users.
The Mountain View-based question-and-answer site disclosed the breach late Monday, saying it discovered the incident Nov. 30. The attack included getting information on everything from individuals’ names, email addresses and user IDs to their encrypted passwords, account settings and content including questions, answers, comments, blog posts and upvotes that users posted on the site.
