The prompt to do something about a fact that is pretty clearly not something you should be able to do (bumping others on the wait list) is a problematic prompt. And the user did not follow it with, "Oops, undo that" once the user saw the result. Sketchy prompt followed by zero attempt to rectify means criminal trespass to me.

But do you need those data items for every single client all at once? Why not (weak example to make point) one login for customers A through M and another for N through Z? If someone breaks security for a system, they should not ever be staring at a database of *everything*. Maybe divide customers by region? Or class of freight? It is insane to me that any user's login carries the ability to see all the data downloaded in this attack.

What person needs all the addresses *at once*? Why is there not separation by class of freight or by region? Why isn't there some requirement to query multiple databases that would set off alarms that someone is touching so many parts?

At the scale of a gym website, this is a cyber attack. Low stakes, small weapons, but same general principle: software used to find a (gaping) hole in other software to create result target software did not intend to allow; damage done to another party (the person bumped from waiting list) is small but nonzero.
