Cex aren't happy about the posting - but have neither confirmed or denied it happened. I've asked them to clarify the situation on their official thread so as to assure their users that their system is safe, here:

Apart from the volatility of bitcoin, I see "hacking" as the number thing that could cause it to fail.
It's the same with every other online banking account. It takes a while to build up good security and people just have to be careful with their stuff.

Huh, glad I emptied out my BTC from there yesterday. Still have a tiny amount of cloud hashing going on there (mostly to keep the referral freebies running).

Barely a week goes by without another "several thousand" bitcoins going missing because a site has been "hacked".
I put "hacked" in quotes because in 90% of these "hacking" cases, I don't believe for a minute the site has really been hacked. Its just a convenient excuse for the site owner to run off with the coins.
Tip: never leave any more bitcoins that you have to on *any* bitcoin website. There are too many greedy people about. Keep your bitcoins offline.

Thought I'd copy this over from the cex.io official thread so everyone could read it, seeing as nobody looks at their thread anyway - especially cex.io......
