I've heard that is possible, but highly improbable. The reason for the unlikliness is due in part to the way FDISR's file structure. I think it goes something like this: The malicious software would have to be coded to work with FDISR's file stucture in order to be successful at doing what you pose and since it is unlikely that a malicious piece of software writer will target the relatively small number of users it is unlikely to be a threat. In other words, the amount of work it would take would not be worth the benefit of targeting such few users.
I'm not an expert and I'm sure someone with more specific knowledge will have a more accurate and detailed answer to your question.
