I was interviewed at a place (an IT company) and when I was asked my current salary, I replied that I can't disclose it. The hiring manager said "oh, really? that is strange!"
That made me wonder, what was wrong about it if I want to hide it.

No, it's not bad to hide your current salary.
They may have thought you meant you were legally not able to disclose it, hence the surprise.
If they press you, I think the best way to respond is to say: "I am looking for a renumeration in the range between X - Y, which is comparable to what I currently earn."
In my experience, on either side of the table, the current renumeration of the candidate hasn't come up. I am based in Australia.
