Interesting question
The answer depends on what you want it to be secure from.
Example: I got an E-mail the other day that said DHL was trying to deliver a package but having a problem.. Well E-mail does not actually open on my computer but on a very very very well protected remote system that is NOT running Windows.
I just get an "image" of it and any attachments are ... blocked.
So I opened it
The company logo was not DHL but BHL and the photo of the delivery vehicle UPS.
Think perhaps they were after my personal data wanting me to click on the link and log in .. . .. (They got something else. I clicked on a link all right but is was a 'Report this e-mail' link provided by the E-mail service not part of the message).
NO internet system is secure against a user who falls for the bait.
I get several like messages every day Usually i just hit "Report" and never open them. I did that one just for fun.
Or the E-mail I got from Bank of America Security (NO IT WAS NOT)

I'm sure they were having issues accessing my BoA account..... I bank elsewhere.
