At the risk of re-kicking the already dead horse: Bill, you're comparing
apples and spiders.
Are there fewer mainframe 'hacks'? Yep. There are also exponentially fewer
mainframes than Windows / Android / Mac / IOS / Linux. Like - a few thousand
mainframes compared to 2.5 BILLION users of Windows/Linux/Mac/Android & IOS
combined. That is somewhere between 250,000 - 500,000x more installs of those
OS's. And they are freely available for literally anyone to poke at.
What you're arguing "Because Windows gets hacked daily, and mainframes are never in
the news as have being hacked - means that mainframes are more secure .. more
'hack-proof'" Is like saying that:
-- Homes in Toronto are more hurricane-proof because fewer of them are
destroyed than in Key West.
OR
-- Babies are better drivers than their parents, because their parents get in
accidents every day.
OR
-- People in Greenland are less susceptible to cancer because fewer people die
of it than do in the US.
For years people thought Macs were less susceptible to viruses than their
Windows counterparts... because? They never read about Mac hacks. The
reality? There were way fewer Macs. Now? Still much less marketshare than
Windows, but lots of Mac hacks/malware out there because they have more than
doubled their market share in 6-8 years.
You criticize demagoguery using demagoguery.
It's not that mainframe were not hacked just because nobody tried. Or to
few hackers tried.
And not every adult is equally good driver.
A solid safe can be opened, but carton box ca be opened more easily.
Even if there are much more carton boxes than safes.
