Security is a relative thing.
Back in the day when I consulted with banks on security systems I learned that the amount of money that went into protecting vault depended on how much money was in the vault. THe idea was to make it more expensive to break in.
Same idea applies to computer security.
The LV Web interface effectively sepeartes the front panel from the block diagram and provides the linkages between them.
To attack that communication the atttacker must be familiar with that interaction AND be willing to do the attacking.
Aside from one of my mentors, I know of nobody outside NI that can attack that interface and judging by his posts, he is too busy to get involved.
So if the data in the app being served is really worth so much that the cometition would invest in doing the hacking, then the concern is valid. But if the served app's info is not that valuable, then relax and let the competition waste their money.
