I guess the four ethical Issues that arise when storing electronic information about Individuals would be: Privacy, Property, Resource Allocation, Transparency and Disclosure. Some common threats to privacy are Blackmail, Extortion, Identity theft, and cooperate or government espionage and misconduct. Identity being the most common where peoples identities are stolen/used to impersonate their victims financial transactions. Like making unauthorized purchases with their victims credit cars or taken out loans in the victims name. Of course with blackmail and extortion they’re also accessing sensitive information but using it to get their victims to as they please. Cooperate and Government Espionage and misconduct is similar to the blackmail and extortion. However with Cooperate or Government Espionage its typically a third party involved in a place of work. Typically personal information being gained to hurt the third party. Where they get an employee to access sensitive information to have to hold as leverage over the third party so they can get anything they want or get them to do as they please. Where as with property something is hacked to destroy certain places or things.
