Do you have a link to the Share presentation? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Monday, May 15, 2017 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ransomware on Mainframe application ?
No, but Chad Rikansrud did a presentation on the possibility of mainframe ransomware at SHARE San Jose that was positively chilling. He demonstrated (independent of each other) five building blocks that would be all someone would need to lock up a mainframe. "Two things that mainframes do really well: encryption and fast disk I/O." Consider the implications if your primary backup is real-time replication ... But, you say, mainframes don't have people clicking on links in e-mail. No, but system programmers with privileged access have PCs and click on links in e-mail.
