Wow, that is heartbreaking. Lots of people's hard earned money, gone, because of a hack. But hopefully, as we've seen in Mt. Gox, there is a possibility of it being returned. I guess this is another reason why having more decentralized options is better. One can just keep their assets in their own wallets while trading. Thinking more about it, this is also possibly a few of the remaining advantages of traditional finances like the bank. Assets can be insured up to a certain amount. So if a hack happens, their funds are still safe.
