Insecurity? What do you mean? and are those Newsgroups extremely hard to learn for the less tech-savvy people (::cough:: me ::cough::)?
Well, say you're downloading a file with Bitt. The chances are, that file will be copyrighted and you don't have the permission to be downloading/uploading it. That's illegal (in most countries). Now, on Bitt, it only takes one member of law enforcement (e.g. RIAA, MPAA) to be connected to the same torrent file as you to get hundreds, possibly thousands of IPs of people comitting illegal acts in mere seconds. Also, anyone who's 'up to no good' can get your IP equally quickly.
