Mainframe Security Reality Check
Real breaches proving mainframes are not invulnerable. Learning from reality helps protect your IBM i systems better.
The Swedish Government Breach (2012)
“Anakata hacked the Swedish tax agency via z/OS mainframes from his attic. CVE-2012-5955 in WebSphere, exploited in an emulated environment with z/OS terminals. 100,000+ RACF passwords cracked, tax data of millions of citizens stolen. Laptop with spicy pillow, but he cracked those mainframes. "Mainframes are unhackable" they said...”
Lesson Learned:
A guy in an attic with emulated environments > billions in mainframe security
Powertech Solution:
Modern security tooling prevents what legacy security monitoring misses
Nordea Bank - Mainframe Money Transfer
“The same attacker who hacked the Swedish government transferred €4,000 from Nordea Bank via their z/OS system. An attempt at €1,000,000 transfer failed luckily.”
Lesson Learned:
Financial mainframes are not immune to targeted attacks
Powertech Solution:
Real-time behavioral analysis detects abnormal transactions
"RACF Is Secure" - Not Anymore
“In the Swedish breach, 100,000+ RACF passwords were cracked offline with modified John the Ripper tools. The attacker had full access to all IBM i data.”
Lesson Learned:
Password-based security alone is no longer sufficient
