I'd suggest an attack that causes Excel to ever so slightly modify
its formulae, at random, intermittently, forever.  Soon enough, no
two copies of the same thing will actually be the same and no past
filings of record will be reproducible.  When discovered, everything
will have to be destroyed so as to start over.  Call it "hoof&mouth"
if you please.
