I'm getting into a rather heated argument with a non mainframe colleague about whether the mainframe has been hacked or not. Legitimate hacking, not a disgruntled employee doing something illegal and not loss of tapes or other media. I'm talking the mainframe platform. Thoughts?

I've never seen an actual illicit entry into a mainframe z/OS, MVS or OS/390 system, although I've seen several "Denial of Service" attacks.

They didn't actually get into the system but they prevented legitimate entry.
