Nothing is ever secure, even online banking system can be hacked. The result of exchange hacking is due to unfixed security issues and poor security measures (eg. exploits, majority of Bitcoins in hot wallet, poorly designed website) . The best option is never to store Bitcoins for long term in a exchange, no matter how trusted it is.
Well your bank account is insured and if your online banking account is compromised then the bank will cover any losses as long as you were not negligent (eg gave someone your password) in securing your account. With bitcoin on the other hand once the funds leave the control of your private keys (once they leave your wallet) they are permanently gone.

Yip right !
They just want to grow their sire and wants people to grt in their site and get their bitcoins on exchange when the see enough bitcoins the scam or whatever
But
Still reality in my eyes are that they just steal money at the end of the day !

Correct .
Also some exchangers simply don't care about Security and only care about making quick buck . I mean what would cost them to make their exchanger using 2 Factor Authentification and Multisig adresses , nothign . they simply asks their developpers to do that

It's a poor public excuse to steal the money from the allegedly 'hacked' accounts by the management.
Hey guys 
What is happening everywhere !
As 2015 started i see only hacked bitcoins thread !
There are some possibilities !
Wallets are not so secured!
Exchanges stealed money and saying that they are hacked !
Hackers got much knowledge to how to hack bitcoin addresses i mean they learnt much about private keys !
Tell me which is right statement ?👈
Also if hackers are clever enough then thts for them 🔫
this is nothing new, hackers always was hacking it is up to users to secure themselves or at least lower the chances of getting hackedWhat is happening everywhere !

besides don't believe whatever you read.
in case of the exchanger that lost 7170 BTC, it is most probably an scam, no one in his right mind would keep that much money in one place to be stolen!
Cryptos would become worthless if it was common knowlege that many/most exhanges use some form of a fractional reserve accounting.
That old, "the dog ate it", excuse keeps them coming back again and again.

My friend also use one of the above passwords and his account usually hacked
Well with bitcoin hacking is only because off people trying to get rich, say by investing in ponzis and all. by doing so they risk their coins and should be aware of the consequences.
It is true that 2015 is/was not a good start for BTC , but the problem is all of people
If you invest in some site giving HYIP , you are simplying saying , come steal me
Keep your passwrods hard and strong
Use sites liek random.org to make good passwords and remember them , do not save them anywhere

I trust Cryptsy. It is based in US and has a public person behind it.
like everyone else said, no one is hacking anything. exchanges steal your funds after running fractional reserve on you and your bitcoin. then blame it on hackers who cant and wont be caught as they dont exist.
None of my wallets have been hacked so far, but I lost some amount when Instawallet shutdown their wallets. Didn't had any backup and I lost quite a few mBTCs.
Yeah people need to take security more seriously to prevent all these hackings. Some of these could be easily avoided.
Hacking my ass. Those bastard exchanges just stealing from themselves and saying that they're hacked.
I m agree with you that they just steal money then say oho we got hacked wth?
I too agree with it!!!
How many casino's are being hacked? .........Why is it always the exchanges? {In my opinion these exchange hacks are faked by people working or running the exchange}
Where are their counter measures? .... Honey traps.... triggers...? Nah.... it smells like a inside job.
You seldom hear anything about all the internet banking users losing money, because it's being swept under the carpet or the banks settle with the users out of court. My sister had the same thing with one of the bigger banks... they did not want to acknowledge that they had someone from inside the bank, who emptied her account, and she threatended to go to the papers... they then quickly settled and she had to sign a document denying their involvement, before they paid out the money to her. {She got no copy of the document and when she received the settlement, she went back to the bank to ask for it, and they denied ever having such a document}
They use tactics like that to intimidate people and when you want to take them on, they simply deny everything.

Yeah these
Are passwords chosen by peoples !
But
I dont think tht exchanges or well educated person can set his/her password
Like this
I also see password like *ILOVEKATTY* LOLX
Could even be all the possibilities. But one thing for sure there's no such thing as bitcoin by itself getting hacked. Needs to clear that up or forever the misconception is there.
Trojans & keyloggers... then there's governments hacking every HD manufacturer... we have to take security more seriously
