Internet Security Question

[David Abramowitz <DAbramowitz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is considerably less risk here than anywhere else. 

Without FTP being turned on, there is little risk from file deletion
damage.

Most hackers do not "know" the AS/400, and will be unable to "back door"
there way in to your AS/400 system from SMTP.

Yet there is still risk. Once connected via any means to your AS/400, there
is a hacker who could figure out how to get into the rest of your system.

Hackers are continually on the lookout for new TCP/IP numbers. A new TCP/IP
number represents a system that has not yet been hacked onto.
