Re: Ransomware on Power

Hello Larry,

And to the person who claims that such things cannot happen to IBM i. NotSoFast Rabbit. Just because a traditional 'virus' is less likely (some say impossible) on IBM i does NOT mean that such a program could not be written and placed by an employee, contractor, or software vendor.

This is also true for any other OS: When a malicious intruder with the needed authority wants to make harm, there’s a way.

This is a completely different topic as with Ransomware, which is brought in by luring people to activate Macros in Office packages and whatnot.

Also, the ubiquity of Windows makes it by far a good target for shooting in the approximate direction. Something *will* hit.

:wq! PoC
