yet another place hacked and a big amount of money stolen and we are still not seeing any change in these services security measures. and people are also continue trusting them with their money.
I wonder when this is going to change if ever!
It will never change. Hot wallets are connected to the internet, and thus a very interesting target for hacker thieves. It's not that all people keep their coins on exchanges without withdrawing them. Plenty of people are trading where the trading sessions can last days, perhaps even weeks depending on the intensity of the volatility. In that regard, traders must have a certain amount of coins and money in their exchange account in order to continue trading. What I personally do is, when I am done trading, I withdraw all my coins. That's a basic rule for me. If I am going to trade again, I simply deposit coins, and do what I want to do, where after that I withdraw them again. Very simple.
