Also their security is supposed to be shit, so it is easy to steal your domain names if you are registered with them

As with any registrar, if you do not put in place steps to protect yourself, then you have no one to blame but yourself. Registrar Lock will prevent anyone from being able to try and transfer your domain away from you. Also, if you don't lock it, then keep abreast of your emails, as you will be notified if someone attempts to transfer it away. I too had someone try, and simply declined the transfer and locked it down.
Unfortunately this situation is possible at any registrar if you don't follow the steps. Just lock your domains, pay your bills, and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Also, if you are worried about password security, then just change your password on a frequent basis and you should not have any problems. Again, it all boils down to how proactive you are about your domain names.
