If we're still talking about the Logica hack, the reading I did on it says they 
got their hands on an ID that had read access to the RACF database.  So the 
initial entry was the same as it almost always is; someone was careless with a 
password.  After that they did other things, mostly in OMVS (they were pretty 
incompetent in MVS).

Other things in the stor[y] don't make sense. It's either BS or the hacker was 
given special access to the facility.
