Ransomware is usually installed via known vulnerabilities in system software (e.g. operating systems). I don't think SBBS is a big enough target (not a large enough installed base) to attract such evildoers, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. It's much more likely that any Ransomware would be installed via some other well-known vulnerability in the system hosting the BBS.
