The underlying reason for  the question is that in discussions about
moving away from the platform I rarely hear/see comments about the
security and I wonder why not?  It seems to me like REASON #! to stay on
the platform, and there should be billboards and pamphlets.   well...
maybe not billboards  -  that'd be seen as a challenge by the bad guys.
Buy pamphlets.  Yes.  Pamphlets. We need pamphlets.  Handouts,
brochures.  Maybe coffee mugs in every lunch room.

Is that from HelpSystems? The story they tell is a customer with an infected PC
and a mapped drive connected to the root of the customer's IBMi.

Target in 2014.

"When they finally scanned their IBM i server, they were shocked to find 248,095
files infected with CryptoWall, a highly destructive type of ransomware."
