Before PROTECTED was implemented we only had this happen once that I
know of -- for a CICS region. It wasn't a hack or DoS attempt. Just a
user who wasn't paying attention and thought he was telling
SuperSessions to take him to that CICS region three times in a row when
he was really on a logon screen and the CICS region name (which was same
as the started task name) was instead being taken as the userid on a
logon three times and revoked the CICS region userid. I got the night
call.
