There is limited record of the hack and the exchange does not appear to exist at present.

HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED?

There is limited details, but in general, having assets in cold storage, with the signing authority shared between multiple people, and visibility to ensure customer assets are backed would prevent almost all known cases.
