It is good to know that Bancor is trying their best to recover stolen coins. Although Bancor coins are frozen, but how about the other coins such as ETH and etc? I wonder whether Bancor will pay the stolen coins back to owners.
It's quite obvious that Bancor won't be able to do much now since the ETH and PundiX have been transferred to other wallets. It is really hard to do anything if once the coins are transferred out of the exchange since the control is lost over them. I had never heard of Bancor until the hack happened.
I doubt whether Bancor is even decentralized since it is able to be compromised and able to freeze the coins.
One way for people to realize that as long as you are not in full control of your funds in your wallet, then you really are vulnerable to being hacked. There must have been some lapses in a way for the hackers to easily get in, but with the way things have been, there is need for everyone to always be extra careful so as not to be victim of all these hackers.
It is hard though to stay completely safe, but at least, better to be having full control and using a highly secured device and only move them when you just want to trade.
