There's been news going around saying that you need to put in a certain address to able to steal that account. I was wondering if that's fake and bitcoin is a secured way of handling cash.

Probably the most fake news I have heard up until now and that is too from you here in this thread. I don't think that anything can be done like that. Our wallets are secured with so many security measures such 2FA authentication, combination password and much more if you keep adding. Few ERC20 standard wallets are secured with the keystone file, passphrase and private keys. The combination is most hard thing we may be able to break. So no, I don't think that by just putting some address you will be able to hack it. It will just give you error that its wrong key. :-)

i think they are reffering to private keys and not an actual public address because it is really possible too be hacked and emptied your balance if you carelessly input your private keys on some unkown websites or phising sites that is build to potentially scam users and steal their available balance but public addreses cant be hack because it is meant for public to be able to recieve coins from another users. also there were other cases like viruses, trojans and malwares that can also hack and steal you accounts personal info's therfor you must be extra cautious when dealling business online and much better if you can avoid those shaddy and unkown sites or files that are not trusted or officially verrified.
