Well, I will be the one to call this story BS.

You can not run that script remote without the Remote-CE option enabled. And, that option was not available until the DS8870. And, to run it you have to first log in as CE. A password that should have been changed at installation.

Agree. my point is that a mainframe is just another server and that
you don't need to login into to damage the data.

The long periods of bad guy access are typical. You read most of the
breach stories the attack unfolded over weeks or months. The hackers talk
about pwning (owning) a group of servers.

This falls into the category of "things I just don't get": if that had
been me, I'd've woken up every single morning wondering if this was the day
that my access would be gone, and whether there was about to be a loud
knock on the door (at least). Yes, I know, this wasn't in the U.S. so the
cops would have been less violent, but still-if I were out committing
crimes, I'd want them to be over as soon as possible so I could continue on
with my life, knowing that there was some chance of evidence leading to me,
but not with a continuous, live channel leading back to me!
