As companies and organizations continue to implement more and more technology, people’s information will be stored electronically. Of course, this raises the question of is it ethical to store individuals’ information online at all. Four ethical issues that arise include privacy and confidentiality, security breaches, system implementation, and data inaccuracies. The first issue is privacy and confidentiality. This is an issue because in some instances the organization or company may release some of the individual’s information to share. The business or company could also sell the customer’s personal information to other companies. This is done in a business interest and not in the customer’s best interest. This is also an issue because the information could be hacked into and then everything would be known about the person to the thief. The person could go as far as stealing the person’s identity if a social security card number is present. This typically is at banks and hospitals. The next issue is security breaches. This ties in directly with the last issue. There are a number of ways a hacker could breach the security of companies. An out-of-date operating system, a weak password, and malware attacks could occur. Also, an accident by an employee could open a possibility for a hacker to get information. The third issue is system implementation. System implementation refers to how the information system is built or should be built. The system should be up to standards. This is ethical because if the company is not known widely for having these qualities, the customers will be very worried to share their information. The fourth issue is data inaccuracies. Data inaccuracies mostly occur when an individual who works for a company or organization just simply puts it in wrong. For example, if this occurs at a hospital the patient could be treated for the wrong condition.
