Nearly all banks run a mainframe. If hackers wanted to break into platforms
handling the worlds financial system, where all the money is, the mainframe is
the platform. The MF has been around for 60-70 years and all you can come up
with the Logica non hack and some hokey hack only you know about. Whereas,
Microsoft, and every other platform are hacked every week. And the ransom
attacks aren’t on the MF. Plus, don’t get me started on the thievery of bitcoin.

Assuming you don't count Logica. ("Oh, that wasn't a real mainframe hack, they
came in through USS.")
And assuming you don't count one other that I am aware of but under a firm
request not to discuss.

You’d have to be a poorly run shop to permit any of those to occur. Maybe
that’s why mainframe hacks have actually never happened.....Biden successfully
extracted 124,000 from Afghanistan in a few weeks. Amazing.
