No computer-controlled entities shoot at pods, so you didn't get podded by sleepers. Your ship might have been blown up because you warped to a site at 0 and you were decloaked by an object, or even the invisible signature beacon which counts as an object, or possibly even one of your own probes.
Pay attention to what your modules are doing, if your cloak flashes red, it's deactivated and people can now target you, align out.

Sometimes they do shoot pods.

I am seeing reports that AI drones are podding players.
As for sleepers and the cloak, once I was in a cloaked ship hanging out in a gas cloud, and a sleeper patrol showed up right within 5000m. Don't know if they can see through cloaks, but it does not keep them from showing up right on top of you.

I've lived in wormholes for 2 months now and never been shot at in a pod, we use pods to scout sites we haven't done yet. I've never had an NPC of any kind shoot a pod, and if I ever witnessed such bahavior I'd petition it and expect to have implants compensated.

If the reports are true, then Sleeper podding = awesome.

Sleepers don't pod. If you lost your pod to Sleepers, it was a glitch. CCP will have my back on this one. Second, sleepers don't see through cloaks and they don't decloak you. The sleeper frigates are programmed to make a bee-line for your entry point, regardless of whether you're cloaked or not and whether or not you warped in at 100km. They usually stop after flying 20km or so. As for being decloaked, many times have people warped in at 0 and landed accidentally on the Cosmic Signature marker in space, the physically invisible marker that counts as an object and can thus decloak you if you pass within 2km. Warping to 0 warps you to within a short range of the marker, either decloaking you as you run into it or decloaking you as you move towards it accidentally.
The horror stories about "Sleepers seeing through cloaks" or "sleepers pod" are myths spawned by incomplete understanding of Sleeper site dynamics and the occasional glitch, nothing more.

I've been almost podded by Guristas twice, and couple times by Blood Raiders. I remember when I started playing I read somewhere that NPCs don't usually shoot pods, but they sometimes do. Don't know about sleepers tho.

I have got out from mission in the hull of my pod in the past. NPC do shoot pods sometimes. Altho you are ofc correct that they are supposed not to. They do it if they get "confused" by heavy lag or desync so I suppose you will get your implants replaced indeed if NPC will pod you.
There were also some effects that did pop pods after they introduced "smartbomb" effects in dungeons but I think they made pods immune to those effects shortly afterwards. For example that damaging cloud in recon 2 of 3.
