That is very unfortunate, you have my sympathy. But I think it has to be pointed out that leaving your money in a crypto-currency exchange is generally considered to be worse than leaving it in a bank, regardless of where you stand on cyptocurrency in general.

Personally, I lost 3 bitcoin when someone hacked my MtGox account in 2012. I think they'd had 2fa for a little while at that point, but I was stupid and didn't enable it. Furthermore, I had reused my account/password on some fledgling bitcoin forum. In my defense, when I made the accounts I didn't think the valuation of bitcoin would peak around $20k :)
