Not until I see a security audit will I believe any exchange is secure. I believed Mt. Gox had "resolved" the basic issue of password hashing back when they were compromised until I found out they were using a home-grown "run sha512 1000x" solution.
That, plus I know as a programmer I like to think I'm disciplined enough to be a secure programmer until my software is audited or pentested. Then I realize how naive I really am.
Like I said, I'm not trusting any exchanges until I start seeing rigorous security measures (more than "security is our #1 priority" bullshit) in the form of audits, pentesting, and etc...
That said I also know very few people that actually use their personal BTC wallets and encrypt it with GPG + a two factor challenge (to avoid the possibility of key loggers).
