I need to get this done

Edgardo J. Rodriguez Morales Module 2 Homework COSC1301-TD001

Scenario 1

A company’s employee uses their work computer to test some software that their friend bought. It only takes a few minutes, and they uninstall it after they are done.

According with Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics by the Computer Ethics Institute, he has violated number 7. thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization or proper compensation, in this scenario is clear that the employee is knowingly doing something that is not authorize by his company and not ethical. Taking the risk of installing an unauthorize software to his job computer a lot of things might go wrong on the scenario does not say but what if that computer has a piece of software that is design to lock the computer until an administrator authorized the software? Or what if the friend did not say his real intentions and the software is a malicious software? There are many assumptions, but the best decision will simply not to installed on the computer. However, assuming he did and nothing happen the company computers at minimum I feel like he should be suspended for until an investigation is complete, and came back with confirmation that no critical information was put at risk.

Scenario 3

A company’s employee was curious as to what the “higher-ups” pay looks like.They break the passcodes and take a quick peek at the salaries.

I understand the curiosity but the fact that he has break in the system to look at the higher ups salaries is a straight up violation of privacy data and the 3rd computer ethic principle Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's computer files. Breaking into the company system to access the information he wanted to look for is to me consider like looking into other people files. I believe that the incident should be investigated and the employee should be given a warning.

Scenario 4

A bank teller transfers money from a customer account into their account to pay a bill that is overdue. Three days later, the bank teller gets paid and transfers the money back.

In the scenario mentioned above there is not signs of an accident this is a criminal offense right a away by just taking to money and transferring over to his account this is essentially stealing, the employee is violating the law and the 4th principle of computer ethics which is Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. Not to mention the employee also has violated these bank client trust. I feel the employee should be fire and charge with criminal charges for stealing costumer money this conduct should not be tolerated by any financial institution.
