is a safe password enough to not get hacked?

lets say you have an account on MTGOX with a password that contains big and small letters
extra keys and numbers and is over 20 caracters long

is there still a chance getting hacked?

(except phising,keyloggers)

We are going to see more and more of this as time goes by. The number of noobs that are getting into bitcoin just keeps going up and up so we'll see more coins stolen. People don't like to hear that they are at fault, so the blame will fall on bitcoin and it will have a negative impact on bitcoin's reputation. But, yeah, rick pickings for thieves. Also opens up a door for those who can offer secure wallets. Unfortunately a lot of people have failed in that area so any newcomer will struggle to do it right.

I don't think most people are aware that they probably have had numerous Trojans on their computers. The Trojans are only discovered once something goes wrong (theft of accounts, data, money, etc). The general assumption is "I've never has a virus so why would I get one now?" I used to be like that, but not anymore.
