To complete this: your private key is stored in an encrypted form:
this is to reduce possible damage should anyone with access to
your data to steal your private key (they'd need the passphrase for
it).

If your account is compromised, you have at least the time to
revoke your key while "they" brute-force its encryption...

You have the revocation key, don't you?
