I did have a very long password that had to be entered before funds could be transferred.
if you had a password for your wallet there was no way of stealing your coins through this bug, specially if you didn't open your wallet. read @ThomasV comments above first for more details.
besides when you have your (hot) wallet on your desktop computer there are at least a dozen ways they can be stolen.
