Not quite. The only reason those OSes are "secure" is because they are obscure. Hackers concentrate their efforts where they are likely to realize the most damage/personal gain. No point in attacking OSes that no one uses. If those OSes gain in popularity, they will be vulnerable. In fact, I'd argue they will be MORE vulnerable because their makers have no history with actually trying to thwart hackers.
