didn’t they say bitcoins were secure?

Nope. They said they were near impossible to counterfeit. They have always said that people need to take reasonable steps to make sure their wallets are secure.

The same can be said for online bank accounts or for online credit card transactions.

Any transactions that require a computer are susceptible to virus/malware/hacking attempts.

I'd say the most secure method is physical cash in your physical wallet. And even then it isn't secure if you decide to leave it sitting on the front seat of your car.
