That's effectively one shared key for all. If one of them are
compromized them most likely all of them are, as the attacker clearly
gained access to both

  - The storage locaiton where the keys were stored
  - The encryption key (passphrase)

And if an attacker managed to gain access to this combination for any of
your keys it's likely he also gains access to the others.
