If I understand correctly, that's because of their agreement with MS.
There's no way (as far as we know) that SSL can be broken, but that doesn't stop the NSA being able to intercept and store encrypted data for a future date when it CAN be read (either through some magical new method of codebreaking, or something less fancy like acquiring the SSL certificate for that host...)

FWIW, VBulletin is in cleartext PHP. Any backdoors would be noticed pretty quickly.
