I sort of agree; I think bitcoin will be tougher after this. However, it is still unfortunate to have to go through this. It is much better if we can anticipate these problems and prevent them rather than suffer through them and fix them post facto.
True.
Some security measures can be taken from the existing online banking (at least their good for that), probably account + Number lists for transaction verification.
Moreover I'm looking forward to see
- mobile/SMS verification of account changes, trades and withdrawals.
- Temporary locks of withdrawal addresses (Bitcoin, Dwollar, etc.)
- Login verification based on geo location.
- and so on...
