Question 4

Ethical Decision Making

Suppose Jovanni reached the conclusion that an insider at HAL was at least partly responsible for the APT discovered in this incident. To make it more complicated, he suspected that his longtime friend Jason might be the culprit. Would it be ethical for Jovanni to directly ask Jason about this possibility? Why or why not?

Answer 4

in an outside work situation maybe but in a work envorment no, the best to do would be to watch and obzerve to see if your right or not.

Question 5

Ethical Decision Making

One of Jovanni’s tasks that he enjoys is data collection and surveillance of the “black side” of the Internet. He has memberships in various groups in the hacker community and usually lurks, but occasionally he participates in online discussions with that community. He thinks he might know one of the perpetrators of this breach from those interactions. Do you think Jovanni should share his suspicion with the law enforcement community?

Answer 5

yes, if you have strong evadeinces to back your idea.
