Or the time it took Joe Park to convince Rochester that he could indeed have a program adopt SECOFR and then disappear from WRKACTJOB!

All long since patched and the V6 change took care of any (most) lingering exposures.

I'll never forget the look on Carol Woodbury's face when Steve Glanstein (there's a name from the past) showed her a security hole. The whole was patched with the next cumulative PTF.

Subject: Re: Has there been in-the-wild i Series virus?

This is the only scenario that I have ever encountered - where they were using the IFS as a mapped drive and infected PCs infected files on the server. In that type of context the host (linux/Windows/IBM i) is irrelevant other than "can the system itself get infected" and in the case of the i the answer has always been no.

The system has been hacked - mostly due to people foolishly leaving default passwords in place - but there has been no virus to my knowledge that ever infected the system per-se.

I've never heard of one in over 20 years.

At one time someone said there has never been an i-Series virus in
the wild? Never knew if it was true then or not.

If it was true, is it still true?
