In addition to 2FA security with email, we should also regularly change email passwords and set a long password and have hard to remember characters. The ability to remember passwords is easily compromised.
Another good suggestion is to use a password manager, it is very difficult to come up with passwords that are very difficult to break for a hacker and that are easy to remember, so it is better to use a password manager that can create a password so long and complex that is going to be impossible for any hacker to break it and if you change them regularly then the protection of that password is even stronger.

My account is also hacked, I see the login process is not from me. fortunately, assets are still safe, when I get email notifications to enter, I immediately enter and install 2FA. And until now it's still safe, in my opinion, 2FA is very important !!!

Prior to being hacked,  yes my account in poloniex was hacked but it was my mistake since I did not use their security option of having 2fa.  With regards to OP's brother, since he is gathering fund from other people, he should have added more security to his trading account.  Gmail can be hacked but if your account in trading platform have 2fa, it is harder for the hacker to access your account in different exchanges.  There is also this text confirmation code where we can activate if we are not confident with 2fa. 
I hope OP's brother has learned his lesson in that incident.

With the advent of cryptocurrency, the hackers have a new line of earnings. Many people want to have digital assets, but they neglect their cyber security. In today's world, people are accustomed to hoping for the cyber security of banking structures that are responsible for the safety of their money, but people do not understand that they themselves are responsible for digital assets.

I am happy that I have never been a victim of hackers. Maybe they are not interested in my shitcoins))) In any case, I always adhere to the terms of use and protection against fishing, etc.

I am glad to say that I did not part of exchange hacking nor losimg of money there. Maybe it is my luck but I never became a careless when it comes to the safetiness of my asset. I want to secure all coins I have and trusting in an exchange is a big NO for me. I hope I would not lose even a small amount eventhough I know that there are many hackers in this industry.
