Describe four ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals.

As society begins to make technological advancements so does the fear of an individual’s information being shared etc. Privacy and confidentiality is a major issue because information can be accessed about you and then shared to third parties in order for profit. Another issue can be security breaches as well. They threaten the privacy and security of information of someone without their knowledge and consent. In addition, data inaccuracies can be seen as an ethical issue. If the data is not correct and up to the date then its integrity is not there. Which in return affects the reliability of it. Last but not least, system implementation can make room for a loss of confidence between one another and cause more issues.

Compare cybersecurity risks in the U.S. and another country. 

Let’s be very clear no country is truly safe when it comes to cybersecurity and threats. Any country can be targeted no matter its status. That being said, the United States is considered to be in the “okay” spot when it comes to  cyberthreats. It is hit with them on a daily basis I would imagine. From viruses, to phones. If you can think of it , it probably was already used against the United States in some form or fashion. But if you compare the US to Sweden, or even Norway. Then the US would look like a battlefield of slaughter compared to those two countries. When China is probably one of the least cyber-secure country on the planet as of now
