Quora's 100 million users accounts got hacked!

According to Quora:
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)

This is the biggest Breach of the internet this year in my opinion!

    Okay.. i guess i'll be changing my pw now.

    I'm thinking of providing a list of all my paswords online; then at least I'd get some PR for it and save us all some time
