And this is why you never use exchanges as wallets. If you have to trade, you can't avoid the risks of depositing to an 'outside wallet', but you can't trade with a zero balance either :( they need to make a decentralized exchange thats easier to use than EtherDelta, it's confusing to me. Something like IndieSquare maybe, you can place orders within the same app as the wallet. It should be even easier on the ETH blockchain, counterparty is kind of suck because of the state of bitcoin.

Cold wallet and hardware wallets also have some risks the best option is diversying.

Soon you'll be able to trade in Waves dex, and it's going to be safer, faster and more user friendly.

Its pretty pathetic to use an exchange as a wallet. If someone lost their coins because the exchange got hacked and they had their coins on the exchange account, I would say they deserved it because of the level of carelessness shown in holding onto your hard earned coin. There are many MEW fakes being used to phish people and one must make sure the URL is correct before accessing the site.

Less than $1M USD.
It's hard to call it a large hack...

Well don't save too much in exchange wallet
Is it have an impact to ETH price world wide?
We have to be careful to choose exchange service before we lose some money there
