...How Ethics Relate To Computer Crimes Herman T. Everidge III Legal and Ethical Issues in Computing CIS 4253, 847 James R. Moore, Jr. September 29, 2012 Computer Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and Malware Malware refers to software programs designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on computer systems; viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware are the most common types of malware. Computer viruses show us how vulnerable we are; viruses can have a devastating effect on businesses, they disrupt productivity and can cause billions of dollars in damages. They also show us how sophisticated and interconnected we have become. Computer viruses are called viruses because they share some of the traits of biological viruses; computer viruses pass from computer to computer much like a biological virus passes from person to person. Computer viruses are created by people by writing code to create the virus, and designing the attack phase which could be a message or initiate the destruction of a piece of hardware. Early viruses were pieces of code embedded in legitimate programs, like games or word processors. A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs; it might attach itself to a program and each time the program runs the virus runs too, and they can reproduce by attaching to other programs. E-mail viruses travel as an attachments to e-mail messages and can replicate themselves by automatically mailing itself to people in the victim's e-mail address...

...IRAC Case Study LAW 531 Case Summary Superstar Kim Kardashian was victorious in a legal battle with her estranged husband Kris Humphries. Kris Humphries demanded access to view emails Kim Kardashian had in a closed e-mail account. These e-mails were personal private property of Kim Kardashian’s and not a marital asset or a real asset. Because this was not a business situation, Kris Humphries could not claim he had rights to Kim’s personal e-mails. Cheeseman (2013) states, real property is immovable or attached to immovable land or buildings, whereas personal property is movable. In this situation, the e-mail account in question is personal property. According to FindLaw (2013), E-mail privacy is derived from the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and is governed by the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard. Rule Cheeseman (2013) states, "The law protects the rights of owners of personal property to use, sell, dispose of, control, and prevent others from trespassing on their rights." In the divorce case of Kardashian vs. Humphries the personal property belonged to one party of a divorce and does not belong to the other party. It is lawful for the owner of the personal party to prevent the other party from trespassing on their rights. In the case of divorce a party who wants access to the other party's personal property does not have a legal right to it. If this was a business managerial setting the electronic communication would be consider...

...is how to tailor a message for the audience which will receive it. A manager must know how to approach an audience be it an employee, a member of management or a customer. Each audience may need to be informed of the same information, but the way a manager presents the information to each should be different. A manager should also be aware of ethics and personal privacy when writing. It is easy for a manager to inadvertently create a problem for the company by doing something considered unethical by some or by invading an employee’s privacy. This course helped to understand how a manager should consider ethics and privacy when writing. This course also covered the considerations a manager must give an audience when deciding how much the audience knows about the subject matter. A manager does not need to assume the audience knows more information than it does, but he must also not bore an audience with subject matter the audience already knows. Lastly, a manager must keep in mind formality of documentation. A memo should be a more formal document than an e-mail. An e-mail to a fellow employee can be more informal than an e-mail to someone outside the company or to a customer. All of these points covered in the class will help to create more appropriate documents for every business occasion. [pic] ABC Apparel “Clothing that fits every need…..” 373 Apparel Drive...

Responsibilities include building media lists, planning events, and creating press material to determine the success of a campaign. Communication coordinators may use traditional, electronic or social media communication methods to address the public. In the scenario given, a well-known public figure has been affected by a medication. We will examine advantages and disadvantages of using these forms of communication. This paper will, also, look at the effects of HIPAA regarding these communication methods. One of the worst things that can happen to a drug manufacturer, is that a well-known public figure is negatively affected by one of its medications. What happens next can determine the success of the manufacturer. Forms of communication, such as, social media can quickly get the word out to many consumers about the negative effects of the drug. Social media includes outlets, such as, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. According to ECRI Institute, a study that was done in February of 2011 by the National Research Corporation showed, “that 41% of 23,000 respondents used social media to research healthcare decisions, almost 94% said that Facebook was their primary source, followed by YouTube at 32%,” (Health care risk control, 2011).

...E-Mail and Internet Policy Darryn Cooper COM/285 Angie Robert August 24, 2011 E-Mail and Internet Policy The integrity of a business relies on communication, both using internal and external communications. E-mails and the internet are two ways that businesses communicate with shareholders, employees and their customers. In today’s global market, the use of computer guidelines and policies have been implemented to ensure that all employees adhere to those policies. Communication via the internet and use of emails should be carefully considered when using it. This essay will discuss why e-mail and internet policies have been put in place. *1Congress passed the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (Privacy Act) to safeguard records of information pertaining to individuals that Federal agencies or components own and maintain. The Department of Defense (DoD) policy regarding e-mail and internet use is very strict. All employees who are employed by the DoD are given a Common Access Card (CAC). The CAC is inserted into the computer and requires that you enter a password. At no time should you leave your CAC in the computer when an individual leaves his or her computer. Ashmore ( 2009), " Many federal laws affect employer regulation of email and internet uses, such as the Federal Wiretap Act; the Electronic Communications Privacy Act; and the Stored Communications Act.

...primarily protect the interests of the company, to include reputation and work product. Employees should conduct themselves in a manner that does not distract from the overall purpose of business communications. Employee utilization of company assets for personal use should not be excessive, and staff should use responsibly. In my current employment policies are in place to regulate the use electronic communications for professional and personal use. Although employees are permitted to use company assets for limited personal use, all use should be brief and not detract from the employees work or violate the company’s standard of ethics. Policies have been placed to protect the employee and the Agency, As O’Rourke explains employers have a right to “intercept and review e-mail messages, audit email accounts and require employee training on e-mail” (2013, p. 190). Employees have a responsibility to ensure their use of company assets for personal use comply with organization policies. As no federal law covers entirely an employee’s right to privacy (O’Rourke, 2013, p.189) employees should ensure that all use of company assets for personal use are in accordance written and implied policies of the organization. Use of employer communication assets for personal use, if permitted should maintain the same degree of professionalism as any other aspect of conducting business. Employers should a have a right and responsibility to ensure company assets are being...
