Well from our side it is not prone to hacking as we have several layers of security which you will find only on larger sites.
At our end we have implemented industry standard security protocols including OAuth and also have feature where you can have Two Factor Authentication. Passwords are stored in one way encrypted hash so even we cant decrypt the password and can only match. Brute force attacks are blocked and our system is behind a firewall.
I do recommend users to use Two Factor Authentication if they want an extra layer of security which would mean that even if someone manages to get your password (through keylogger or making you login to a duplicate site) they would still not be able to login to your account without access to your smartphone Authenticator app.
