a form of bullying carried out via
internet technology such as
social media where individuals
are mocked on their physical
appearance, lifestyle,
preferences, etc.

• Hacking: Stealing a user’s

personal or organizational
information without authorized

 FOCUS OF
CYBERETHICS
• 1. Privacy:
• The content that is available on the internet
should not hurt any moral, emotional, or
personal ethics of individuals.
• Users should have the right to protect any
information which they don’t want to share
openly.
2. IPR:
IPR stands for Intellectual Property Rights.
• IPR defines that the owners have the
complete right to the content that is posted
on the internet.
3. Security:

Security on the internet is the most basic

ethical right that every user must be
accessible.
Users of the internet should feel safe
while they surf the net.

4. Accuracy:

The content available on the internet is

accessed by billions of users.
If there is no reliability of the information
that is posted online, then it would
mislead the masses
