The degree of responsibility for the misuse of information depends on various factors, including the extent of security measures implemented by the database designers. If the flaw in the design is easily exploitable, the designers may share a higher degree of responsibility, irrespective of the effort required by the perpetrator. A robust and secure database design should aim to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
The degree of effort required to exploit the flaw can influence how responsibility is distributed:
- Low Effort (e.g., simple URL manipulation, no login required)
- High Effort (e.g., reverse engineering, bypassing multiple layers)
