Not quite. Credit card numbers can be (and mostly are) stolen from websites that accepts them. That's not true for Bitcoin - you have to gain access to the customers computers that stores the private keys. In that regard, Bitcoin is actually much more secure.

Edit: I just want to add that I think its really silly that most of the online transactions are still done by a series of numbers that can be easily copied and re-used by whoever gets them. We should have much better solutions by now.
