>I didn’t know I had a Quora account. How is it that my email or information was exposed? You may have signed up for Quora some time ago. While you might not have regularly visited or used Quora, your account remained, and this breach may have exposed some of your information, such as the email address you signed up with, the password you used, or actions you took on Quora.
Would be nice if websites measured user activity and could 'lock out' or otherwise release their data if they never use the site; at least, confirm with said user via email if the account is needed.
But in this era, I'm sure companies would prefer to keep whatever data they can get.
- MrStonedOne 8y agoByond (2d tile/sprite based online gaming platform) does this. After a year of no activity they inactivate your account, and delete the hashed password. You have to reset your password to regain access.
