Discussion : Cyberattacks, Security, and Ethical Boundaries
In Ethics in Information Technology (EIT), Chapter 3 explores the growing threat of cyberattacks and the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and critical infrastructure. Similarly, Chapter 5 of A Gift of Fire (AGOF) examines how crime and security intersect, focusing on the ethical implications of balancing security measures with personal freedoms and privacy.
Reflecting on these ideas:
Identify a recent example of a significant cyberattack or cybersecurity incident (e.g., ransomware attacks, data breaches, or infrastructure hacking).
Analyze the ethical implications of the attack and the response by the affected parties (e.g., organizations, governments, or individuals).
Discuss the challenges of balancing strong security measures with protecting individual rights and privacy. Were the responses to this incident ethically justifiable?
Propose a solution or strategy to strengthen cybersecurity while addressing ethical concerns about privacy, fairness, and accountability.
