What are two primary areas of concern in computer ethics?

Answer 1

Three concerns of computer ethics for business are:

1. General Use - Employees treating computers and other office equipment with respect, not only taking care of them in a physical sense, but using tools and internet access for business and not personal gain.

2. Data Access - Protecting integrity and confidentiality of vital data presents an additional ethical issue.

3. Security and Privacy - IT employees and some support employees may have access to login details of employees and should be held accountable for any inappropriate use of this inside knowledge.

Answer 2

There are two major problems in the area: (1) unethical behavior leading to immoral acts such as virus creation and software piracy and (2) lack of awareness about information technology security and information technology-related crimes.
