This should be yet another reminder to never store coins online for long term, and always use strong 2FA on your account and your email.

true, but in this particular case 2FA was not preventing this man from stealing user's cryptocurrencies. he just chose those accounts without 2FA because it was more convincing to lie and say they were hacked compared to saying an account with 2FA was hacked!
the moral of this story is not to trust any exchange with your money. the coins are in their database and no matter what password and 2FA you choose they can still rob you.
Yes, in any case, if we store our cryptocurrency not in our wallet, there will always be the danger of it being stolen by various officials who will have access to them. Unfortunately, the security of our cryptocurrency will always be in doubt.
Such crimes are quite difficult to prove and solve. Law enforcement agencies of Ukraine worked well here, given that the investigation led the usual district police department of the city of Kiev.
