I was a DBA. Anyone who has valid access, no matter how they got it, doesn’t qualify as a hack of that platform. Nearly every bank in the world still uses the mainframe. Why? Because it is almost impenetrable by regular hacking means. So do most insurance companies for the same reason.

Think about it this way: Would a DBA be able to get away saying that "the DB was copied because a mainframe operator reused their mainframe credentials as their credentials to access the RDBMS."? (Regardless of how the credentials were actually acquired.) My bet is that such a response would not hold any water and the DBA would be expected to better secure the RDBMS. I feel like the same methodology & standards apply to the mainframe as it does to the RDBMS. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
