"I am told that intrusion reporting has been mandated by law for several
years."

Of the specifics or just the result?

I would think that if there had been a successful crack due to software
limitations (i.e. bug) we would have seen a fix via "Red Alert".

A successful crack via a configuration lapse (incorrect/incomplete setup
etc.) is another thing and IIRC there is/were RedBooks/White
Papers/SHARE sessions and the ever popular consulting firms that may
address/specify the most likely issues.

If you mean gaining access to sensitive MF data, then yes there have
been several reports. 

The successful attack vectors were (trusted?) Windows servers.  

If you mean gaining access directly, then I personally have not seen any
credible reports. I am told that intrusion reporting has been mandated
by law for several years.

I'm getting into a rather heated argument with a non mainframe colleague
about whether the mainframe has been hacked or not. Legitimate hacking,
not a disgruntled employee doing something illegal and not loss of tapes
or other media. I'm talking the mainframe platform. Thoughts?
