Its no longer news that an ICO in Japan has lost over $400 million to hackers. They promised to pay back investors who invested in their ICO. Thsi is a huge loss. After I read that news, I began to wonder. How safe is Bitcoin and Other altcoins? What measures should we take to avoid being hacked ?

These exchange hacks always makes me suspicious. Most of them looks like inside jobs. Because it is not possible for the hackers to crack through multiple levels of authentication, unless they have support from someone who is familiar with the system.
so your saying that the hacker was one of the staff of one company?

May be people familiar with the employees in that company. I do not think corporate employees are a hacker, they can not self-destruct their jobs and go to jail. An employee of the company and going to hacked that company, sounds unreasonable at all
