littlenick I never said it will never be hacked, I said it has never been hacked nor has it ever been compromised by an internal or external force. AS/400's have been around for about 16 or so years and have never been hacked. Why? Because they don't teach AS/400 in colleges anymore, in fact the only places I have been able to find that do teach AS/400 and RPG programming was in canada and a few seminar training courses around the US. Not to mention the very strict auditing done on banks, hell banks aren't even allowed to have a AS/400 programmer on staff they have to outsource because having a programmer with constant access to a live working AS/400 is about as safe as jumping out of a plane without checking the parachut, sure more then likely it will open and everything will be fine but if it doesn't you're ****ed.
