Should there be more stringent consequences for those who use technology for illegal or unethical purposes?

The Computer Ethics Institutes Web site at http://computerethicsinstitute.org/images/The Ten CommandmentsOfComputer Ethics.pdf offers the "Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics" to guide you in the general direction of ethical computer use. The first two are: Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. This one is the bedrock for all the others. Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. This one includes small sins like sending frivolous e-mail, big ones, like spreading viruses, and the really big ones like electronic stalking.

- Fine air particles can come from power plants, motor vehicles, airplanes, residential wood burning, forest fires, agricultural burning, volcanic eruptions, dust storms, etc. Particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers are able to bypass the nose and throat and penetrate deep into the lungs and some may even enter the circulatory system. Due to the many adverse effects fine particles can inflict on a large number of people, PM2.5 is one of the major pollutants closely monitored by health authorities around the world. You will most likely come across a dedicated column for PM2.5 alongside the Air Quality Index (AQI), Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) or the air quality standards adopted by your country. The data provided to you in this assignment was obtained from the Geoplatform screening tool. The assignment only uses the PM2.5 levels from the dataset.

Most countries have shut down the border to control the spread of the virus. By early 2021, COVID-19 vaccines have been broadly introduced and are effective and can reduce the risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. That has enabled people to cross the border and will give an opportunity to the tourism industry." In preparation for the opening of the border, the Government of Malaysia plans to develop an Electronic COVID-19 passport information system (eCPIS) to store Malaysian immunization information. You are required to develop this system to keep immunization information and allow passport control officers to retrieve each individual immunization information, ECPIS should contain the following information: • Personal information (Name, passport no., age, and gender) • Vaccination…arrow_forward
- When operating systems and most other types of software are first released, they are not completely bug-free.There are applications available that contain tens of thousands of bugs.Known flaws in published software are routinely addressed by software companies through the distribution of patches (also known as patches).Hackers and other criminals frequently launch zero-day attacks the day after a new vulnerability is publicly disclosed. No one can deny that these criminals' actions are unethical, but what duty does a software company have if their negligence or haste to market causes harm to customers? What are computer users' responsibilities in terms of staying up to date on security patches?arrow_forwardAccelerated digital transformation of businessesThe world is straining under the weight of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
