An Example of a Violation of Privacy
|
|
|
|
Think of an act, other than those already discussed in the module,
that would constitute a violation of privacy in computing. Explain.
|
|
In the advent of on-line computing, sharing of data is already possible in almost every company.
Computers in this case are for public use and it is possible for others to see your files.
I consider therefore as an invasion of privacy when one employee just open somebody's file without
his permission. Everybody should respect one's privacy even in computing. It is also the responsibility
of the user to secure his files for threats to privacy and that users of computers should be given
individual computer profile and be allowed only to use only his assigned USERNAME.
