Those stolen bitcoins were not holded by their owners with care, but by shady third parties. If you take the proper measures bitcoins are very hard to steal. You can create wallets and transactions even from an offline computer and never expose your savings to the internet. You can even print to a paper your wallet info and never again use it within a computer. You just need to trust the wallet generator enviroment. Still, keeping BTC safe for the average user is really hard, even tech savy people made costly mistakes. Hardware solutions will be needed to solve this problem, but the tech is in itself safe(tm).
