One solution is just to use DEX, We need people to start using DEX and protect themselves from hackers, We should be responsible for our own protection.

People weren't able to protect their API-keys and 2FA codes which lead to the loss of funds.
So how should they going to be capable of protecting their private keys..

Binance's security is fine. Based on all information, it is each users fault for not protecting his 2FA codes / API keys.
It hasn't been mentioned anywhere that there was some security breach.

that's my belief based on the statements binance made, but AFAIK no details about how 2FA and API keys were compromised have been released. have they? they have urged all users to change passwords, 2FA, and most specifically API keys so i guess we can't be sure this is 100% client side yet. API keys were hacked from binance's servers last year and there have been recent suspicions of an ongoing problem.
