Ask Dr. Denise Nagel, executive director of the National Coalition for Patient Rights, about medical privacy, for example, and she rattles off a list of abuses that would make Big Brother blush. She talks about how two years ago, a convicted child rapist working as a technician in a Boston hospital rifled through 1,000 computerized records looking for potential victims (and was caught when the father of a nine-year-old girl used caller ID to trace the call back to the hospital). How a banker on Maryland's state health commission pulled up a list of cancer patients, cross-checked it against the names of his bank's customers and revoked the loans of the matches. How Sara Lee bakeries planned to collaborate with Lovelace Health Systems, a subsidiary of Cigna, to match employee health records with work- performance reports to find workers who might benefit from antidepressants. - Time Magazine

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS If you use your company health insurance to purchase drugs, your employer may have access to the details. EMPLOYEE ID SCANNERS If you rely on a magnetic-stripe pass to enter the office, your whereabouts are automatically recorded. BROWSING ON THE WEB Many sites tag visitors with "magic cookies" that record what you're looking at and when you have been surfing. CELLULAR TELEPHONE Your calls can be intercepted and your access numbers cribbed by eavesdroppers with police scanners. CREDIT CARDS Everything you charge is in a database that police, among others, could look at. REGISTERING TO VOTE In most states, voter-registration records are public and online. They typically list your address and birth date. - Time Magazine

Every time you enter one, you add an electronic brushstroke to your digital portrait. SATELLITES Commercial satellites are coming online that are eagle-eyed enough to spot you--and maybe a companion--in a hot tub. ELECTRONIC TOLLS In many places, drivers can pay tolls electronically with passes that tip off your whereabouts. SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS they're in banks, federal office buildings, 7-elevens, even houses of worship; new yorkers are on camera up to 20 times a day. MAIL-ORDER TRANSACTIONS Many companies, including mail-order houses and publishers, sell lists of their customers. Why do you think you're getting that Victoria's Secret catalog? SENDING E-MAIL In offices, E-mail is considered part of your work. Your employer is allowed to read it--and many bosses do.

The band has an account, but I don't look at it too much. I'm kind of not a fan of the Internet. I don't agree with it. I don't agree with technology very much. I think it's a way for people to completely trespass on your life. Whether you want to or not, I know people are bearing their souls for people to read. I think there are a lot of desperate people out there that do that. People think that everyone they encounter is like that. People don't get the right impression of each other, nobody respects each other, nobody admires each other, and nobody honors each other, I think because now everyone thinks that the entire world is a tight-knit group of friends thanks to Facebook, and that's not the case at all. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/01/what-not-to-post-on- facebook_n_764338.html Social Networking Sites

24. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 24 There are seven major classes of criminal activity with computers: Unauthorized use Malicious software Cyberstalking Obscenity Online transactions / auctions Distribution of illegal materials (e.g. counterfeiting) Misrepresentation

25. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 25 From http://www.rbs2.com/ccrime.htm old crimes The legal problem of obscenity on the Internet is mostly the same as the legal problem of obscenity in books and magazines, except for some technical issues of personal jurisdiction on the Internet. Similarly, many crimes involving computers are no different from crimes without computers: the computer is only a tool that a criminal uses to commit a crime. For example, Using a computer, a scanner, graphics software, and a high-quality color laser or ink jet printer for forgery or counterfeiting is the same crime as using an old- fashioned printing press with ink. Stealing a laptop computer with proprietary information stored on the hard disk inside the computer is the same crime as stealing a briefcase that contains papers with proprietary information. Using the Internet or online services to solicit sex is similar to other forms of solicitation of sex, and so is not a new crime. Using computers can be another way to commit either larceny or fraud. In contrast to merely using computer equipment as a tool to commit old crimes, this essay is concerned with computer crimes that are new ways to harm people.

26. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 26 The Law Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, 1986) It is a crime to access, alter, damage, or destroy information on a computer without authorization. Computers protected under this law include: –government computers, –financial systems, –medical systems, –interstate commerce, and –any computer on the Internet. Hacking

27. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 27 The Law (contd) USA Patriot Act (USAPA, 2001) Amends the CFAA. Allows for recovery of losses due to responding to a hacker attack, assessing damages, and restoring systems. Higher penalties can be levied against anyone hacking into computers belonging to criminal justice system or the military. The government can monitor online activity without a court order. Hacking

28. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 28 Questions About Penalties Intent Should hackers who did not intend to do damage or harm be punished differently than those with criminal intentions? Age Should underage hackers receive a different penalty than adult hackers? Damage Done Should the penalty correspond to the actual damage done or the potential for damage? Or to a facilitys reputation? Hacking

33. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 33 NPR: BROOKE GLADSTONE: Starting off with the Oxford English dictionary we see that in 1779 somewhere in Leicestershire England a man named Ned Ludd broke into a house in a fit of insane rage and destroyed two machines used for knitting stockings. Now this is legend, of course, but by around 1811, Ludd had transformed into a mythical figure called Captain or King Ludd, and the Luddites were leaving thousands of mangled knitting machines in their wake. By then, knitting machines had been putting workers out of work for more than two centuries. Though Luddite is an English word, it was by no means an exclusively English phenomenon. MARK ARANOV: There's the wonderful French term "saboteur" and that comes from the French word "sabot" --the old fashioned French wooden shoe. Sabotage comes from the act of throwing one's wooden shoe into a machine that's like throwing a spanner in the works or as John Lennon would have said, a Spaniard in the works. Luddites?

35. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 35 Deontological Emphasizes duty and absolute rules. Rules should apply to everyone. Use logic or reason to determine what is good. Treat people as an ends (not a means). Consequentialist Includes Utilitarianism Strive to increase utility (that which satisfies a persons needs and values) for the most people (the greater good). Consider the consequences for all affected people. Rule-Utilitarianism: Choose rules, or guidelines for behavior, that generally increase utility. Act-Utilitarianism: Analyze each action to determine if it increases utility. Natural Rights Derived from the nature of humanity Focus is on the process by which people interact. Respect the fundamental rights of others, including life, liberty, and property. Ethical Views

36. Adapted from PowerPoint slides created by Sherry Clark (Copyright 2003 Prentice Hall) 36 Some Important Distinctions –Right, Wrong, and Okay: acts may be ethically obligatory, ethically prohibited, or ethically acceptable. –Negative rights (liberties): the right to act without coercive interference. –Positive rights (claim-rights): imposing an obligation on some people to provide certain things. –Causing harm: some acts may cause harm to others but are not necessarily unethical. –Goals vs. actions: the actions we take to achieve our goals should be consistent with our ethical constraints. –Personal preference vs. ethics: some issues we disapprove of because of our dislikes, rather than on ethical grounds. –Law vs. ethics: some acts are ethical, but illegal; other acts are legal, but unethical. Ethics
