Hacking Can Not Be Ethical

Anonymous is an associated international network hacking group of activists and ‘hacktivists’ - . They became known for their attacks on governments, businesses and corporate websites. There are many reasons why Anonymous hack and expose different people, and companies. In today’s world there are many who consider hacking to be a job from which they gain money. These individuals are oftentimes behind some of the biggest corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, and Sony. The hacking system affects peoples' psychological behaviors such as when Facebook had shut down just for an hour many started panicking. The hackers' intentions are to help many out there to see what’s going on behind the scenes. If one believes in Anonymous, and call his/herself-Anonymous,

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:

THE COMPUTER FRAUD and Abuse Act, the law that’s been at the heart of almost every controversial hacking case of the past decade, is in the news again this month.

Society is addicted to technology? Some people may think that and their is a lot of support to backup that technology is addicting, but should we embrace the digital age and all of its advancements. I think society is addicted to technology, and we are not using it the right way, we are using it for more bad than good.

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 todays time just one hacker can infiltrate governments and companies and release mass amounts of private information and details. The secret hacking group, Anonymous is a group of unknown hackers that have recently been hunted down by governments around the world (mainly the US and British). They should not be looked at as “domestic terrorists” but as protesting citizens. Terrorists put fear into people, but Anonymous interests the public. They have even been called “Digital Robin Hoods” (Carter, 2012). Since Anonymous mostly goes after companies and organizations they believe are corrupt or bad, and since they don't do any physical harm to anyone they should not be persecuted and put in jail. They release private information about the websites of companies, religious groups, and governments to show the public who they really are and what they are really doing. They also use a tactic called DDos which is basically where Anonymous overruns a website so much nobody else can then on go on that website.The U.S. government goes after anonymous hacktivists and similar groups but turns a blind eye to pro US/anti Terrorist hackers. A con of what Anonymous does is that when they release private government documents via Wikileaks or different sources, other governments like China and Russia can access the information released which can possibly be threatening to the U.S.

Moreover, Anonymous is unique in the scope of cyber ethics because the group has, over time, cultivated its own code of ethics. The group functions as a nonprofit organization, however, it does not follow any laws or common ethical practices. Therein lies the inherent issue with Anonymous. They are referred to as cyber criminals by the government but viewed by the public as vigilante hacktivists.

Hackers have caused the government billions of dollars in damage over time and leaking tens of thousands of sensitive documents, most for sport. Although not all hackers are out there to cause damage; the Hacktavist group Anonymous is a group that strives to protect the users of the Internet. When many people think of hackers they automatically think they are doing it for nefarious reasons, they are unaware that most hackers actually help protect and improve the everyday life we have through the internet by not only strengthening the sites we use everyday, but also taking down known black hat sites and even protecting civil right by allowing us to see the vital information withheld from us by the government.

In contrast, an issue that is ethical but, not legal is Impact Team hacking Ashley Madison, and the reason why is there is proof from these hacks of Avid Life Media not deleting data that was supposed to be erased. So, going after a website that does mischievous acts and has a motto that promotes unethical ideas is ethical, but not legal in the

Hacking: If I record someone hacking I will Temp-Ban them for 48 hours as a holding ban until other staff can agree or disagree if he was actually hacking or not. If the majority of them agree it was hacks the holding ban would be removed and then the player would be Perm-Banned. Now, if the majority of the staff disagree that they were hacking the holding ban will be removed. Now, if 2 or more staff agree that someone is hacking, in game, they do not have to record and it will be a Perm-Ban.

The first week of this class was a challenge because I was not prepared with a project. I felt I had plenty of time before I had to come up with a project or plan for this class but all too soon I was enrolled and the class had begun. After looking at a few possible projects and subjects for a thirty page thesis I decided on going through the Certified Ethical Hacking program on Pluralsight.com.

The ethical issues surrounding hacking, stem from several sources mainly dealing with order and control, and information ownership. What is difficult to decipher from all the media hoopla surrounding the terms, "hacker" and "hacking" is both the simultaneous sensationalism and the condemnation of said activities. Of course just recently, even a movie was made and was appropriately called Hackers. The term and all that it implies has truly entered our popular consciousness when Hollywood has made a box office movie on it. As the advancement of computer technologies and systems of information become increasingly more and more complex in today's fast paced modern world and said technologies become an integral

As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a "computer terrorist" (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as "the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today."(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it. Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into

The argument between two hackers who say that it is the responsibility of the owners of the computer system to provide adequate security to keep hackers at bay are completely wrong. Neither their argument nor their perspective holds ground. Before we look into the reasons behind why they are wrong, it is important to first comprehend in detail about hacking and hackers.
