It is not a big security risk when someone has your UDID, but when they have it with other details like Billing Address, Payment Info and iTunes Passwords, then it is a high security risk. As we know that Apple account requires Credit Card as a basic one to download even a free apps from App Store, Credit Card details are so common with any user accounts.
