One could argue that the greatest weakness in this case is in holding your life savings in cryptocurrency.

  Have happened to people having a bank account as well

  Not only that, but holding it in a way that they can get to it. If I had a million bucks in crypto, I'd have a few geographically separate offline laptops with the codes on them, fully encrypted, as cold storage.

    People are generally lazy and it has happened to non-crypto folks too where other information was stolen

      It's rare to impossible to do this to a regular bank account, and if they did, the bank would be liable. Crypto is a great solution for some stuff, but it's not a pancea to solve every problem.
