It's quite unusual that even at this day and age, with a lot of techniques and new practice on safeguarding a platform, hackers are still able to get through even with the robust of security systems.

Yep, pretty much everything is bound to be hacked at some time, not only exchanges. It's mostly just a matter of "when".
There's this famous quote from Robert Mueller(non verbatim): "
There are only 2 types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those that will be hacked."
Also, this stresses the age-old question of whether to keep your funds in an exchange or not, and the answer is laid right before our eyes every time a theft occurs.
Pretty much. People will never learn I guess.
