One of the things that makes a public website that deals with bitcoins secure is that it SHOULDN'T store them, or at least not an amount worth stealing.

Bitcoinica lost a huge amount of coins in March (more than this time) because they stored their wallet online, you shouldn't do this, use cold storage.

OK, Bitcionica do use cold storage, just that their hot wallet was pretty bloody big.
