How serious is the risk of anonymous commenters being outed by hackers like Anonymous or Lulzsec?

Take a site like Quora, for example. How difficult would it be for hackers to break-in and turn anonymous commenters/questioners into their "real" names? Or copy their real names and reveal them elsewhere?

tynamite's avatar Quora cannot be hacked, because their website is coded using a Python framework called web.py (afaik or some other framework), which has built in protection for such rudimentary vulnerabilities such as SQL Injections; so the noobish hacking methods which are performed by primitive script kiddies in Anonymous and Lulzsec, will be to no avail.

Move along children.

2018 Update

After I got on BBC Radio 1 playing music, Quora was data breached.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
