His (incredibly annoying if you're an old non-hip guy like me) tumblr page is 
chock full of GIFs of logon screens with their publicly reachable IP addresses. 
So anyone could just TN3270 to any of those.
Even if they support TLS, that protects the data in transit, but it's unlikely 
that authentication by the TN3270 client is required. I have no idea how he got 
the addresses, and presumably some have been "fixed" by now, but doubtless not 
all.
