  • Computer ethics are in place to help minimize or reduce the computer crimes that are increasing day by day due to the increasing users of computers and internet.

    • They are used to protect personal & commercial information such as login & password info, credit card and account information and government and commercial databases. It also controls unwanted internet mail and ads (Spam).

    • Computer ethics can also help prevent and detect cybercrime, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and terrorism.

While most cybercrimes are carried out in order to generate profit for the cybercriminals, some cybercrimes are carried out against computers or devices directly to damage or disable them.

    Examples: 

    • Email and internet fraud.
    • Identity fraud (where personal information is stolen and used).
    • Theft of financial or card payment data.
    • Theft and sale of corporate data.
    • Cyberextortion (demanding money to prevent a threatened attack).
    • Ransomware attacks (a type of cyberextortion).
    • Cryptojacking (where hackers mine cryptocurrency using resources they do not own).
    • Cyberespionage (where hackers access government or company data).

    Punishment if found guilty for Cybercrime:

    Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a prison sentence of up to 20 years for those convicted of cyber crime offenses. If the offense results in the death of another person, then a defendant convicted of the crime could be sentenced to life in prison. This is irrespective of the type of cyber crime.

Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often? jamesboote1 https://padlet.com/jamesboote1/zpgirgsjouflv0hs/wish/2259458079 6. Thou shalt not copy or use proprietary software for which you have not paid (without permission).

    I believe the 6th commandment to be the one which students violate most often. This is because many students illegally stream movies/sports/shows etc instead of paying for the subscription on a legal site. ]]>     2022-08-12 00:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesboote1/zpgirgsjouflv0hs/wish/2259458079     Q2. Why do you think these violations occur? jamesboote1 https://padlet.com/jamesboote1/zpgirgsjouflv0hs/wish/2259461505 I believe there are several reasons as to why these violations occur. 

    • Students know they can get away with it without being caught. 

    • Most students don't have enough disposable income to put towards streaming subscriptions. 

    • There has been an increase in the accessibility of these free and illegal streaming sites. More and more are popping up allowing it to become easier for those students to find new sites where they can stream illegally.

    One of the most-effective ways of dealing with illegal streaming is by removing the incentive for students to look for pirated content. Effectively this can be characterized by offering a good product and a good user experience at a fair price. For example, student discounted subscriptions.

    2. Education

    There are several strands to this, but effectively the goal is to highlight to the students that viewing piracy streams is a crime and it is illegal. To those within the industry this is obvious. However to those outside it, it is anything but.

    3. Legal & Enforcement

    Reduce the amount of illegal stream websites and make it harder for those wanting to access it. There are a variety of countermeasures that TV Service Providers can use to interrupt and remove pirated content, from the traditional take-down notices to increasingly sophisticated real-time messages. With the correct anti-piracy services, operators can identify consumers who are watching illegal streams and incentivize them switch to legitimate services.
