The document discusses various topics related to computer ethics. It begins by defining computer ethics as enforcing ethical implementation and use of computing resources through avoiding copyright infringement and unauthorized distribution of digital content. It then lists 10 commandments of computer ethics established by the Computer Ethics Institute in 1992. Some concepts that can lead to unethical computer use discussed include data stealing, cybercrime, hacking, and embezzlement. Cybercrime refers to criminal acts involving computers or networks. Common types of cybercrime are hacking, stealing software/data, and identity theft. Data theft is also common using devices like USB drives to copy large amounts of data. Hacking involves exploiting security weaknesses for unauthorized access, while social engineering and malware attacks are other risks.

2. INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER ETHICS :
 Computer ethics primary enforce the ethical implementation and use of computing resource it includes methods and
procedures to avoid infringing copyrights, trademarks and the unauthorised distribution of digital content
 Computer ethics also entails the behaviour and approach of a human operator, workplace ethics and compliance with the
ethical standards that surround computer use. The computer ethics institute in 1992 provides 10 commandments of
computer ethics
i. Do not use a computer in ways that may harm other people
ii. Do not use computer technology to cause interference and other users work
iii. Do not spy on others person’s computer data
iv. Do not use computer technology to steal information
v. Do not contribute to the spread of misinformation using computer technology
vi. Refrain from cropping software or buying pirated copies
vii. Do not use someone else computer resources unless authorised to do
viii. It is wrong to claim ownership on a work which is output of someone else's intellect
ix. Before developing a software think about the social impact it can have
x. In using computers for communication be respectful and courteous with the fellow members

4. CYBER-CRIME
The term cybercrime refers to criminal activities including computers networks on the internet. Computer
crime is any crime that is committed with a computer or a network maybe the target of the crime of the
computer may be the device utilised for carrying out other crimes
Following are some types of computer crimes
 Hacking
 Stealing software or data
 Copying, damaging
 Placing marvel virus on a computer system
 Using a computer for fraud or identity theft
 Stealing services or information
 Cyberstalking
 Faking email source information etc.

5. STEALING DATA
The development of our higher capacity portable data storage devices such as USB pen drive as metal almost are easy to
copy large quantities of data from almost any computer data theft is sufficiently common that really any organisation
should have some kind of incident response plan to deal with that the following brief information for it personal or other
managers who are faced with potential data theft aur thinking of preparing a plan for dealing with that.
Recent phenomenon for example is the use of portable digital players to remove data from computers and practice
referred as adding by its practitioners. There are however other modes of data theft which we also see on other ever-
increasing basis USB pen drive device is a cheap easy to hide and have large storage capacity portable hardware device
they can hold can store hundreds of gigabytes where us defence can store several gigabytes of data only these devices
are often not much larger than an ipod and can be powered on the USB ports of the computer that are connected to
MPS players digital cameras memory cards CD DVD emails some data theme simply use email to transfer files out it staff
do not notice large messages passing through their services it is also common to see such mail send to private a web-
based email addresses on the pretence that the sender is preparing to work on the data at homewebmail data things use
webmail to send data from their organisation fortunately webmail of an live significant forensic traces that a scale
investigator can recover. Printing some careful little things will not make any electronic copies at all but will print out ki
document and steel then hard copy form remote access some organisations make data theft even easier by allowing
remote access to their systems from employees private computers please make data theft difficult to trace and make it
very difficult for investigative to identify the computers and other devices which the stolen data has been transferred

6. HACKING
 Hacking is the activity of identifying weaknesses in a computer system or a network to exploit
the security to gain access to personal data or business data. An example of computer
password cracking algorithm to gain access to a computer system.
 Ethical Hacker (White hat): A security hacker who gains access to systems with a view to fix the
identified weaknesses. They may also perform penetration Testing and vulnerability
 Cracker (Black hat): A hacker who gains unauthorized access to computer systems for
personal gain. The intent is usually to steal corporate data, violate privacy rights, transfer
accounts etc.
 Grey hat: A hacker who is in between ethical and black hat hackers. He/she breaks into
computer systems without authority with a view to identify weaknesses and reveal them to the
 Hacktivist: A hacker who use hacking to send social, religious, and political, etc. messages.
This is usually done by hijacking websites and leaving the message on the hijacked website.
 Phreaker: A hacker who identifies and exploits weaknesses in telephones instead of
computers.

7. MALWARE ATTACKS
Social engineering attacks
Online games attack
The web attacks

8.  Hacking cybercriminals know that the best way to breach defences is to track the user into doing
something harmful. The methods range from cleverly worded email to fake websites to even phone and
snail mail. Everyone is a potential target anyone who uses the web risk social engineering attacks each
time they open their email on browser for website social engineering attacks are also often used to take
users to infecting their own systems.
 A social attack is one in which the intended victim is somehow out rate into doing the attackers bidding.
 Targeted attacks are on increase some of the biggest targets are corporate executives and sensitive
sectors such as energy weapon research and finance in some cases the victim is enticed via email into
opening a malicious email attachment or visiting a nefarious website.
 Blizzard main cause of the very popular world of Warcraft series of MMORPG, has been aggressively
warning players to the risk of keyloggers and earn. The Trojan that can lead to compromise of their
online gaming credentials. For many of the impacted players the cause could boil down to good old
fashion tricky Taka social engineering.
 There is an old acronym in the computing industry WYSIWYG. Pronounced wizzy-wig it stands for “what
you see is what you get.” While that used to be true with computers today nothing could be further from
the truth.

9. EMBEZZLEMENT
Embezzlement refers to a form of white-collar crime in which a person or entity misappropriates the assets entrusted to
them. In this type of fraud, the embezzler attains the assets lawfully and has the right to possess them, but the assets
are then used for unintended purposes.
 Embezzlement takes place when a person uses funds for a different purpose than they were intended to
be used.
 Embezzlers might create bills and receipts for activities that did not occur and then use the money paid
for personal expenses.
 Ponzi schemes are an example of embezzlement.
 Businesses lost approximately $400 billion each year to theft.
 Embezzlers can be held civilly and criminally responsible for their crimes.
Some types of embezzlement might be combined with other forms of fraud, such as Ponzi schemes. In
such cases, the embezzler scams investors to entrust them with their assets to invest on their behalf but
instead uses the money for personal gain and enrichment. Maintaining the fraud often includes seeking out
new investors to bring in more money to appease prior investors.
