    Computer security, also known as cybersecurity, aims to safeguard computer systems and networks from threats like information theft, hardware damage, and service disruption. Hacking involves using computer skills to gain unauthorized access, often for malicious purposes such as data theft or corruption. While some hackers see their actions as victimless, hacking is widely considered unethical due to its negative impacts like economic costs, reputational harm, and psychological stress.

    Hacking and Computer Crime

    by Mill Christian C. Gunay


    WHAT IS COMPUTER SECURITY AND HOW
    DOES IT POSE ETHICAL ISSUES?
    • Computer security, also known as cybersecurity or information technology
    security, is the safeguarding of computer systems and networks against
    information leakage, theft or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic
    data, as well as disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
    Hacking and Computer Crime
    • Hacking is the use of computer skills to gain unauthorized access to computer
    resources.
    • Also defined as the gaining of such unauthorized access for malicious purposes:
    to steal information and software or to corrupt data or disrupt system
    operations.
    • Hackers are highly skilled computer users that use their talents to gain such
    access, and often form communities or networks with other hackers to share
    knowledge and data.
    • Self identified hackers, however, make a distinction between non malicious break
    ins, which they describe as hack-ing, and malicious and disruptive break-ins,
    which they call cracking.
    WHY IS IT CONSIDERED UNETHICAL?
    NEGATIVE IMPACTS
    • Physical/Digital

    • Psychological
    • Reputational
    • Social/societal

    • access to computers should be unlimited and total
    • activities in cyberspace cannot do harm in the real world.

    • Cybertrespass

    - the use of information technology to gain unauthorized access to computer


    systems or password-protected websites
    • Cybervandalism

    - the use of information technology to unleash programs that disrupt the


    operations of computer networks or corrupt data.
    • Cyberpiracy

    - also called software piracy, is the use of information technology to reproduce


    copies of proprietary software or information or to distribute such data across a
    computer network.
    Major parts of Cybercrime
