I have no idea if it's true, but:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/al4qjm/cryptopia_didnt_get_hacked_again_the_hacker_stole/

TLDR: Allegedly:
"Cryptopia didnt get hacked again, the hacker "stole Cryptopia's private keys and deleted topia's copy. "Basically using Cryptopia's address as his own."

That's incredible if true. It would mean the hacker assumed that Cryptopia didn't keep proper offline back-ups. That would mean they only kept one set of private keys, with everything stored on online servers. In this day and age, that's difficult to believe.
