They were but for a big time exchange such as them, this will hardly effect anybody's confidence or their customer base. Look at NiceHash after that 70m hack, they are already back and buzzing again and Bithumb will do the same.
Excellent response shown by Bithumb to compensate the users loses with big amount of money, perhaps this responsibility of Bithumb drive the effect to Bitcoin price increasing recently.
it is fitting that a large company is responsible for any problems that occur, as it could be a positive feedback from users who have received compensation from bithumb

they have 400 mil daily volumen what gives us around 0,6 mln daily income from fees. That gives 50 day income. Im not surprised they decided to compensate users loss. 50 day income is not that much cosindering something as syrious as exchange hack. 30 mil is not too much and i think it wont have any long/middle term impact on market.
Yeah, that's true, sorry to hear that. I Hope bithumb will recover as soon as possible and It is very nice that the customers will be compensated for their losses, it is an appreciated behavior.
Just got a text and email from Bithumb :
That's about 32 millions stolen.
