Holy shit.
I think I remember reading about this site and thinking about using it at some point in the near future too. Probably a good thing that I didn't get too interested in it.
You mention that 1.5m RMB was lost though, what is/was the conversion rate to USD? It can mean a huge difference as to what the noted losses are.

Divide by 7, it's around 200k USD
Holy shit.

The conversion rate is 1 RMB = 0.145 USD, so they got away with about $217801.66 USD if my calculator is working correctly. The users will not be affected in any way, because the exchange already said that they will cover the losses. Why do we always see "hacks" when the Bitcoin price breaks out? People should not store large amounts of coins on these exchanges, but they are not listening and when this happens, people lose a lot of money and then they blame Bitcoin.
yet another place hacked and a big amount of money stolen and we are still not seeing any change in these services security measures. and people are also continue trusting them with their money.
I wonder when this is going to change if ever!

What concerns me is not only the amount of money have been lost but how easy site's security gap found and they fell victim of hacking. This proves that administrators, and anybody is responsible about security of these exchange sites must be anytime in alert because even though they said that they take full responsibility about digital assets loss they lost forever their customer's faith.
Holy shit.

2 hours later, another 8btc thread gave out the true reason: BTC38 was hit by a hacker with approximate loss of 1.5 million RMB.
“As a result of the server logic problems on 21st Dec, more than 10 million Bitshares, over 10 million NXT and some BTC/LTC were stolen from the exchange’s hot wallet (estimated total loss of 1.5 million RMB). We shut down the server immediately and stayed up all night to fix the problem. We have reviewed our wallet deployment plan and made new adjustments. We will take full responsibility for the total loss of the digital asset (market buyback).” The most important assurance is that all funds are safe in the hands of BTC38.
BTC38 explained the delay to calm down the market:“As we are currently redeploying the wallet, the service for certain coins will be resumed gradually.”
