Questions and answers that were written anonymously are not affected by this breach as quora do not store the identities of people who post anonymous content.

The overwhelming majority of the content accessed was already public on Quora, but the compromise of account and other private information is serious.

Quora is in the process of notifying the users whose data may have been compromised. Quora users who may have been affected, their accounts will be logged out.
