I'm sure that no matter how hacked they are, we can't really blame them because it's certain that in an exchange to store users' assets, they always prioritize the security of their users' assets from hacker attacks. At least they put 2fa as the main security for their account it must be layered again with security in exchange it makes security layered. Unfortunately hackers always find any way to break it all, there are always loopholes in every security. Even when you say exchanges in your country have insane security that they can hack, this is actually hard to understand, but it's a true fact because I've also heard of major exchanges getting hacked even with high security.
That is the discussion here, not all of them are hacked. Sometimes they just say that they got hacked, but instead they just steal your money and that is it. I personally agree that there are some out there who steal our money and claim that they got hacked and run away with that money without any problem because they just claim they got hacked.
I have been around for many years now and I can say that it has been a while since I saw this happened, but I have faced with plenty of them back in the day, up until 5 years ago this was the norm for most major exchanges let alone the little ones. So, it's really a common tactic for sure without a doubt.
If the project has problems, then it may be beneficial for the team to shift all the blame to the hackers and close the project. But why should the owners of exchanges who make good money do this?
