The reason I asked is that often Oracle servers are protected by firewalls and you need to use Connection Manager, CMAN, to tunnel through the firewall.
In your case ... your confidence in your fellow employees is commendable. You do realize, I hope, that about 80% of all hacking is internal to an organization.
In any case if the issue is not related to a FireWall then my recommendation would be that you perform connection tracing. You can trace ODBC as well as SQL*Net.
