Ashley Madison's Hacking Scandal

As the world becomes ever more involved within the digital realm, it is important to asses acts that may be morally questionable. Such acts like that of a hacker, Hack, and her unauthorized intrusion into a hospital database done purely for personal pleasure. It is my goal to prove that doing so is morally wrong. The proponent of this act, Mickey Soft, lists it as morally permissible for the following reasons:

In 2013, a man, investigators named the “Sexual Cyber Terrorist” extorted over 350 women by hacking into their email accounts and baiting them into giving him nude photos. If the women did not comply with his demand he threatened to hack into their social media accounts and posting photos that he allegedly already had of them. Another ploy to obtain these photos from women would be to pose as close friends and get them to send nude photos. After a thorough investigation the FBI found more than 3,000 nude to seminude photos of victims. The “Sexual Cyber Terrorist”, Karen (Gary) Kazaryan was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to all charges.

Since the scandal at Penn State a lot of things have been happening around the case. For starters, Jerry Sandusky was charged with 45 counts of child molestation. Up until the verdict, Sandusky had told the press and others that he had loved the kids which was said to have been taken out of context. After being charged with the 45 counts of child molestation, Sandusky was given no less than 30, but no more than 60 years in prison for the crimes committed. The case at this moment has cost the school right at a quarter of a billion dollars, half of that being in lawyers fees alone. The university has settled with 33 people over allegations they were sexually abused by Sandusky, and has made total payments to them of $93 million (2017). The administrators

There are many dangers happening in the online world that a lot of people don’t know about. In some cases, you hear on the news that ‘a girl’s online harasser kidnapped her’ or something else along those lines. For those reason in particular, it would

Are dating sites and apps being used properly and in a safe way? If someone lies in their profile and it puts them in any form of danger because of another person should they be punished or the other person? In the article, “Does youthful mistake merit sex-offender status?” by Jill Levenson informs us about how online misunderstandings are causing innocent people to be known as sexual offenders. Zachery Anderson a 19-year-old went on a date with a teenage girl he met on the app "Hot or Not" and they eventually ended up having sex together. The girl had lied about her age and was actually only 14 years old, making their encounter a crime. He ended up in jail and on the sexual offenders list because of a pure impulse and he thought it was legal. However because she lied he had to receive unfair consequences he shouldn’t have because he did a crime without his knowledge.

This year’s Democratic National Committee server breach attempts to compromise Hillary Clinton’s chance of becoming the first women to receive the United States presidency. The focus here will be on the motives behind the D.N.C. breach, whose systems are at risk, long and short term consequences of this breach, and how this breach could have been avoided. There are two theories on the motives behind the network breach. After the breach, there is an extreme likelihood that any system within the 2016 presidency campaign is or will be violated. Short-term consequences includes Hillary Clinton losing the race for the U.S. presidency. Long-term consequences in the United States include a continuing pattern of distrust between the citizens and federal government. Creating and implementing procedures that avoid phishing e-mails, social engineering tactics, and spoofed web logins could have saved the DNC from the public’s outrage over the D.N.C.’s leaked e-mails.

One of the main hazards that Social Networking can bring is Sexual Predators. Vicki Haddock a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle believes, “the internet was once seen as a Golden information superhighway” (Document C). In which people were able to see the next generation of what was called the promise

On Thursday night, during her stand-up performance at Carolines in New York City, Leslie Jones decided to turn her hacking scandal into a hilarious set of jokes. During this past summer, Jones had experience her personal website being hacked, which resulted in explicit images being placed on the Internet. The photos included her license and other personal information. As a result, the Ghostbusters actress went into hiding.

Questions of Hillary Clinton’s morals, and trustworthiness, after using her personal email to conducted secretary of state governmental business. There is a lot to be considered with how Mrs. Clinton handled the situation. It leaves voters unsure if they can trust her. One thing that has been bothering the public and democratic and republican leader is how she is handling the problem, once it was brought to light. Until not taken any ownership of her action. However, in Iowa Mrs. Clinton “took responsibility” for her actions, and admitted it was not one of her “best choices”. This however, is not am apology. The public and leaders are waiting for Mrs. Clinton to explain her reasoning, and answer question regarding the incident. This incident has posed a huge

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton chose to create a personal email to send and receive confidential emails during her time as Secretary of State. Included in these thousands of "personal" emails as confidential information about the 201 Benghazi terrorist attack. Also enclosed in these emails it was proved that Clinton told her family one thing(truth?) and the American public a different story. So what is the truth in her email scandal?

In 1995 there were 23,500 websites on the World Wide Web and by 1998 there were 2,410,067, a more that 10,000% increase. This sudden growth marked a change in the way media was spread and created a new on-demand system for gathering information. In this era one could go from an unknown to a celebrity overnight as news spread through television and Internet at an unprecedented speed. The first major story that was truly born online and propagated by Internet news sources was the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal in 1998 that ultimately lead to President Clinton’s impeachment in early 1999. The picture that was painted of Monica’s character as the story broke and more details came to light was far harsher than is justifiable and the negative image that

While they should most definitely be responsible for monitoring these websites, trying their best to keep the number of offensive and harmful posts at a minimum, the fast pace of Internet crime will almost always allow for slip ups. Unfortunately for these website owners, there is only so much they can do to prevent these types of mishaps due to the limitations of the First Amendment. Imposing too many restrictions would in fact be a violation of free speech, and allowing extensive monitoring of each individual using the website would be in direct violation of the right to privacy granted in the Fourth Amendment. For these reasons, the posters themselves should be held responsible for any compensatory damages done to the

Security experts say personal details of millions of users of the Ashley Madison website released by hackers appear to be genuine, as the fallout from the massive data dump begins to hit home.

Almost 90 percent of our society now depends on complex computer based system. With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, online banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way. Therefore, whether to teach or not teach the "Ethical Hacking" as a course in Tertiary education has become an interesting argument. In this article will analysis the ethical, legal, and ethical implications of this issue.

In the last few years, the number of cyber-attacks happening in the world today has increased significantly and it is something that is not going to go away any time soon. In the most recent case that has happened, a group called the Impact Team has claimed to have complete access to Avid Life Media’s database for the website Ashley Madison. Throughout this entire case there are very few things that are ethical and legal. Besides, Avid Life Media pursuing the hackers for stealing private data, the only other action that I believe falls into this category are users pursuing legal action against Ashley Madison now for not fully deleting their data. If Ashley Madison had actually deleted most of their user’s data and only kept the metadata,
