I'd wonder who has access to this db besides your customer and you.
Has he given access to anyone else? Has he fired anybody recently?
Have *you* fired anyone recently?
Are you *sure* your customers don't/can't interact with each other's
databases?
Has either you or your customer ever replicated/exported/backed up
this (and your other) db(s)?
Those are the things that would keep me up nights. All the basics,
including "social engineering."
