The official report was put out by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and they should know, otherwise they wouldn't have made a false statement putting their brand at risk while eliminating risk for the consumer: http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201408_cfpb_consumer-advisory_virtual-currencies.pdf

Even if you use best practices, anything that connects to the Interneteven big companiescan be hacked.

It can only be done by packet level data sniffing by ISPs. But, if that is done, postbox mail will reach your home faster than email. It is not happening in general, but can be done when someone's real world identity gets attached to his/her IP and the primary connected ISP have the info.
