I haven't experienced or heard about any BBSes falling victim to this. Sadly, ransomware is a business in 2o21 and I don't think - these actors go after huge money. A recent ask was for 60M... another for 20M a week or two ago. I don't think these groups care about 100 people enjoying their old tech - but sure, it COULD happen... if someone wanted to badly enough. I also agree with Digital Man that if it did, its more likely the actors would go after the entire system or network that was hosting the BBS server.
