computer ethics deals with how an individual(computer professional) has to follow some rules and customs.there are basically 3 main ethical computer decisions

1)individual\'s personel code

2)informal code of ethical conduct that exists in work place

3)exposure of formal codes of ethics

The issue under dicussed is about \"CYBER ETHICS\" .

Cyber ethics is a philosophical study related to computers, cyber ethics are to be followed as this is going to have an impact on the society and organisation is well

Cyber Crimes:-

there are many types of cyber crimes some of the cyber crimes are i)telemarketing and internet fraud

ii)credit card account thefts iii)identity thefts etc

The private details of an individuals are collected by them under a concept called

\"PRIVATE DATA COLLECTION\"

These cyber criminals are grabbing the personel stuff of the people from the data warehouses whereby huge pile of details are being stored over a large periods of time

As the datawarehouses consits mostly of private information of a group of people so people argue that the warehouses are to be safeguarded or protected,so that the cyber criminals will have less scope to Hack or steal the details of the peopleHowever, the fact is enough personal information can be gathered from corporate websites and social networking sites to initiate a reverse lookup. Therefore, is it not important to address some of the ethical issues regarding how protected data ends up in the public domain?

Some of the companies like LIFELOCK,JPMORGAN have began to capitalize on theft protection insurance

so whenever these type of issues are dicussed there will be mostly the chance of having a neutral ddecisions.
