They might not have been hacked directly but they lost people's coins by the looks of it regardless where the leak actually was and if there is a weakness somewhere down the line you can gurantee hackers will find and exploit it. I'm sure we can expect many more breaches in the future sadly and ones that will be a lot bigger than this.
