In this study it was found that among the participants there exists a plethora of ways to exploit digital technology and that in many cases the responsibility is placed on the individual or small organisational actors that may lack the resources to be able to protect sensitive data. I suggest that reversing the role and putting the responsibility on the system and system developers instead of the individual may be a better fit. (Less)
