I believe they do have mainframes - but I haven't yet seen anything indicating whether this is mainframe, unix, windows, or what. The only detail I saw reported (which may or may not be true) was that a database admin saw his id being used for things he did not initiate. So if we assume the hacker had his userid/password, that means the breach could be on any or all platforms.

Maybe someone can tell me what difference it makes whether the data was encrypted on disk or not (as some news reports are talking about). I mean, if I do a SELECT * from an admin id I must be going through the decrypt process, right? So it makes little difference if the source data is encrypted I would think.

Watch the wrap.

Are they a mainframe shop?
