I don't see it on the SHARE site and I am not sure what is private and what is 
public in any event. Also much of what he showed was live so it would not 
survive in a PDF.

Chad is on this list as @Bigendian Smalls. Perhaps he will jump in. I BCC'ed 
his real e-mail address.

Do you have a link to the Share presentation?

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.
