They got a list of accounts, but not access to ALL the accounts. The passwords were encrypted, but not strongly, so if you had a weak password it is possible for someone to decrypt it. The crazy part is that they got access to the database through a compromised computer that is owned bu the someone who was doing a security audit on the back end of the exchange!

1000$ per account, and the bad guys got all the accounts

Aside from the limit, how would you guarantee that the seller matches up himself as the buyer on an open exchange?

The limit is 50BTC or 1000$, or at least some are saying that.

I hope not, but that would explain the crazy price.
