Sorry to play advocatus diaboli.
But why on earth would anybody trust his secret key to a piece of SW so little
peer reviewed and potentially buggy as todays BBSes?

Take a look at how hard it is for big corporations with large security teams
not to get hacked.
If that happens to those relatively badly written BBSes, all that information
is in the public.

"badly written" when compared to large SW projects with security reviews.
