In Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 16, Ziggy manages to pull up building plans for a mental institution and p out a safe escape route.

However, it seems like every good thing would come to an end.

In the original series, the Evil Leapers works against the Quantum Leap project. They are led by Lothos, the polar opposite version of Ziggy.
Martinez specifically mentions Ziggy when Addison describes her experience in intelligence gathering and analysis. This means he is leaping with another Ziggy guiding him – whether from another dimension or time.
After that, Janice Calavicci raises the Quantum Leap team's suspicions when she suggested that a traitor was in the program. It gets to the point where they even questions Ian when it was revealed that a future version of them has used the program to leap.
Janice didn't know who the mole was at first. However, she reveals to Magic that it all become clear to her recently. The truth is out: Ziggy is the traitor who seems to have all the answers and knows everything about the team.

Now that we think about it, it's probably no coincidence that Ziggy's suggestions in Episode 14 almost caused World War III. And he would have done so if not for Ben and Martinez's quick thinking.
But that still leaves many questions unanswered. What would happen to Ziggy in the future? If the team has to move forward without the assistance of supercomputer, would they face any dangers? Moreover, there has also been some opinions stating that Ziggy isn't a "mole" - It's just that the team members haven't realized that the timelines they're changing also contain a Ziggy.
