Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

The DAO was hacked or exploited, and everyone who threw money at it thought it was totally secure. Maybe the same might happen to the ETH hard fork. It might be hacked or exploited somehow. Poloniex is taking no chances, it's turned off deposits and withdrawals until it's sure the fork is successful.

If only 60% of the miners mine the hard fork, it could fail if the new chain is attacked by some malicious force.
