All software is prone to bugs and attacks, and for something that's only just entered its second decade I'd say Bitcoin did remarkably well in that regard (no currency nullifying epxloits).

Complete anonymity was never Bitcoin's core feature (it aimed to keep the users pseudonymous with its addresses), but anonymous blockchains are possible, and Monero and Zcach demonstrate that really well.
