That would be an example of "security by obscurity". It is a common pattern among various malware to hit mapped drives on the affected PC. That doesn't mean the malware couldn't hit other network shares as well.

Subject: Re: QSYS.LIB under IFS root
I understand that point, but if the drive is not "mapped", can the ransomware find the path if it contains the $ character in it? So my share location is trytofindme$. I dont map a drive to. Can the ransomeware still find it?
I do agree about not sharing root by the way, this is more a just wondering question.

Yes. But you're really missing the point. If the user who is using this share has a pc which gets hit by ransomeware it will lock all objects on your IBM i and it will basically be toast.
Remove the share.
