The bigger threat is the ODBC/OLE-DB Connects as there are more chance of someone having SQL knowledge and being able to use Excel to access the database and update and delete records. This is a problem for Oracle, SQL Server and other Databases.

The issues seems to be that if someone has Excel, UniObjects and knows how U2 works that they can gain access to the data. Where are these people? Are they working for the IT department? Is this a real life scenario? or an exercise in theory of what might happen?
