It just shows how careless people are in general, hence hacks and scams will always be around unfortunately. This is probably one of the reasons why bitcoin hasn't reached mass adoption yet, as securing a 12-24 word seed would be too much for your everyday person. Some people can't even memorize their social media passwords. It seems like every few weeks I always read an incident on Reddit whereas a person lost like half a million dollars worth of crypto because the person left all his funds on his exchange account and his/her account got hacked. People are careless.

Can you link the actual news article? Crypto theft seems to be a hot thing lately, I guess that the majority is from phishing. Before long the Nigerian email spammers might transition to targeting crypto when they realize it will be a much better prospect than telling people their long lost Nigerian prince cousin has died and left them $1bn but they must first pay $1000 to access it  Grin
