After the "News" from Gox, I don't know how many times we where reading about stolen Bitcoins.
I think it was dozends of times. And the people don't learn nothing. They still keep most of their Coins on the Exchanges to make a quick buck and then get robbed entirely because they forgott about security rule Nr. 1.
Keep the Bitcoins on your own Environment. Cold storage that can easily be managed by Armory for example. Download Armory only from trusted sources, use checksum tools to make sure the software was not compromized. Do that once and you don't have to do it ever again.
Everthing else than the highes security standard is worthless if criminal minds play.
You will likely loose everything. There are plenty of examples.
