Quora reveals account details of up to 100 Million users may have been compromised in a security breach

Thus, there is an extremely less chance that hackers got access to your account as password decryption is really tough. Apart from that, Quora CEO revealed that the company found out that the hack took place last Friday. Hackers got unauthorized access to one of the systems on Quora. But this was enough to steal the user data. On the other hand, the company has already started investigating this security breach. Also, efforts have already been made to prevent this hack from happening again in the future.

You must also be wondering if your account was breached or not. For this, there can not be a simple answer as no information is available yet. However, you can be on the safe side by immediately changing your account’s password. Apart from that, you are also advised to not use the same passwords on different platforms. If you have done so, change the passwords as soon as possible. Quora has also informed that they believe the root cause of hack has been found out and they are working on a quick fix for this breach.

Quora also adds that no partner’s financial information was compromised other than Stripe’s access token which was “temporarily compromised”. But Quora has confirmed with Stripe that the access tokens were not used since the hack in an unauthorized manner.
