At the very least, IRC let use encrypted SSL connection. Then, they may have their own IRC server implementation with special security requirements. I'm more concerned they use windows and mIRC, actually.

Yeah but it is optional, meaning it only takes one person in your channel with it switched off to make the whole thing pointless.

As someone above said, they deal with it by making the whole network secure and not worrying about the irc application being secure.
