Couldn't agree more. We all need to do a bit more investigating on how to secure coins more important even on a wallet? Does anyone know anything about this? I know there was a conversation about paper wallets, cold storage, etc.

I agree. And for the record... DEFINITELY not in favour of a rollback!! Seriously? I didn't know this was possible. Oops... something has happened with our coin that we don't like .... lets just roll the blockchain back a few hours to fix it. Er... NO! That makes me seriously nervous! Theft sucks... but lets make it secure then... not just say oh well, roll back time!
This can happen to any coin. If people are dumb and keep al the coins in exchanges.
It's like asking for something like this to happen.
Don't be lazy, download the wallet, set reasonable passphase on it, and be safe.
