Q5.2) Thabo, a data analyst for a major casino, is working after hours to finish an important project. He realises that he is missing data that had been sent to his co-worker, Jake. As Thabo knows Jake’s password, he logs onto Jake’s computer and sends the data back to himself. While doing so, Thabo sees an open email regarding gambling bets Jake placed with a local sports bookie. This is in contravention of casino policy as all its employees are forbidden to engage in gambling activities to avoid any conflict of interest. Thabo knows he should report this. However, he would then have to admit that he violated the casino’s information technology regulations by logging onto Jake’s computer. On the other hand, if he warns Jake to stop betting, he would also have to reveal his source of information. What should Thabo do in this situation?
