Bitumb Exchange is Based in South Korea which which is also  to be one of the biggest exchange of Sound Korea They Say "Thieves stole a database of user information off the personal computer of an employee, rather than off the company's internal network"

   How much was stolen ? 

A Local News paper name ( Kyunghyang Shinmun ) Reported that  one of the users of the exchange the attack instantly lost bitcoins in the amount of 10 million won about $8 700 at the current exchange rate the hack was found by Bitumb on June 29 it effected the 3% if the users 

Are we Safe ?

 As the Bitumb said the Attack was on user data base which means it was preventable if the 2 factor authentication was activated even if hacker got your detail he still would need your mobile to unlock your account my advice would be use your 2 factor authentication.
