Default Xls protection?

And you can still get password crackers for WinZip

Well, I found a paper where the authors discuss a way to attack the
encryption:

If Winzip isn't enough, PGP probably is. The point is that the only way to
really protect a workbook is to encrypt the xls file using strong
encryption.
