Virtually no operating system can be simultaneously hooked to the Internet _and_ remain fully secure. UNIX is similarly vulnerable, as are just about all other mainstream operating systems. Multics, BLACKER, SCOMP, and some others were far more secure, but I don't know what happened to them (Multics, the OS of which UNIX is a subset, is dead, but the others I don't know about).
