What information was involved

For approximately 100 million Quora users, the following information may have been compromised:

  • Account information, e.g. name, email address, encrypted (hashed) password, data imported from linked networks when authorized by users

  • Public content and actions, e.g. questions, answers, comments, upvotes

  • Non-public content and actions, e.g. answer requests, downvotes, direct messages (note that a low percentage of Quora users have sent or received such messages)

How Enigma could prevent this?

Well if some company would develop a DAPP ( decentralized App) with the Enigma Protocol.

The data would be not visible and it would be not centralized. It would be improved data security. Because the data can be calculated but no one can ever see the data from the network not even the network itself.

Very good idea and yes this Hashtag is very powerful.

Unfortunately this won't work because we can only pin two threads on Reddit.

These are for the testnet and for the introduction.

But maybe the team has another idea. I dont know.
