With a bitcoin value of $600 they stole 71 million US DOLLARS. This is really a major problem for the bitcoin industry, these hacks are turning things over and makes the virtual currency less trusted. Quote:

There's been a few times that the core client has complained about a database error at startup, and wanted to re-download the entire blockchain. I have backups so I can reasonably effortlessly restore a database that is at most a couple of weeks old, so syncing only takes 30 mins, but again, that's not going to be something that the majority of users will be able (or want) to do. |

This is why bitcoin is a 1.0 currency. Time for 2.0. There must be some visibility so hacks aren't possible on this scale.

Windoze+email+not well regulated digital currency exchanges = recipe for disaster.
How was the exchange hacked? Most hacks like this start out with an email exploit or the notorious zip file that is attached to the email. Don't store value in bitcoin or other digital currency use the digital currency as a transactional currency.

Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized, but exchanges and mining pools have re-centralized it. Rather than everyone being responsible for their own funds, much of the BTC in circulation is held by third parties. The exchanges must be constantly hammered by probes and attacks.
