IMO this is why you should designate a computer purely for BTC trading/wallet storage & whatnot - if this website you used won't take security seriously it doesn't mean you shouldn't.

BTCe may not have full disclosure but the security on the site seems to be very adequate for most users including 2FA.  If the end user doesn't utilize that tool then they are assuming the risk.

Unfortunately you can not do much except changing your email/btc-e passwords. Use 2FA for both your e-mail and btc-e account from now on.
2FA is a must in bitcoin world

It is not a good idea of using e-wallet for Bitcoin. Now so often Bitcoin accounts are getting hacked. So it would be best for anyone to use hardware wallet rather than e-wallet.

Please be extremely careful with whom you do your transactions with and most importantly secure your wallet.
