Not quite, open source also means hackers have access to the code to find exploits eaiser. Linux is more secure then windows <b>If</b> the user running linux keeps the patches flowing.
Most people running linux know something about computers, security, and will keep the system running smooth and up-to-date. The average person on the computer (Windows) is blunt, dumb. Linux people watch for this, dumb people don't. People that don't = easily hackable.
Linux is hackable, just the average user is on Windows, and what hacker wants to spend days, or weeks looking for an exploit that won't affect 90% of everyone on the computer. If everyone was on linux it would be the other way around.
