I’m wondering if there is any way that a MySQL database could be compromised? If so how might this happen? What further steps could I take to make my databases more secure?

Compromised how? There’s SQL injection to compromise queries performed on the database. There’s account hacking, gaining otherwise forbidden access at the database level. There’s bypassing the database completely and just copying the raw data files off the server.
“Secure” depends on your operational needs and how much time/money you’re willing to put into it.
