Thank you very much for the timely warning Steve.
It's a great reminder that incorrectly set IFS permissions and broad scope shared folders via NetServer are still a risk that most people overlook, or fail to audit on a regular basis.

New customer of ours had a malware attack. They had a NetServer guest profile and a root directory share. Their only saving grace was the guest profile didn't have *ALLOBJ. Anything that wasn't nailed down got encrypted. We're closing those doors now. And more.
They dodged a howitzer. Keep yourself protected. https://www.itechsol.com/the-real-effects-of-malware-on-ibm-i/
