(Sorry, another repeat here) I once test-called the company Help Desk
and with no other information but the fact that I called from a
sysprog's desk phone (my own), they gave me not only a password reset,
but also told me my TSO userid because I had "forgotten" it, and then
helped me log on. Sure, a hacker would have to be at my desk, but that
could be accomplished.
IBM Experts: I'm ready for your correction.

never be challenged. I love when the IBM experts corrects one of you.

Exactly, and "that was not a real hack" would not get your data back.

Subject: Re: Mainframe ransomware solution
I'll repeat what I always say about this. If I was hacking a mainframe
I wouldn't start with the mainframe, I'd start with the sysprog or
security admin's PC or Mac or email or phone or whatever. In that case
it doesn't matter one bit how well the mainframe is protected internally.
And please stop with the political remarks. This seems to be the one
place on earth I can go without reading about politics. A place where I
can enjoy a 50+ post back-and-forth between Seymour and Gil, for
example, without hearing one word about US politics.
