There can be many issues with this that lead people to identity theft, cyber-attacks, etc&#8230; I mean honestly, what&#8217;s the worst that can happen when you store your personal information on a device that is connected to the internet right? Well to give more insight on this question, I will provide four ethical issues with storing electronic information on a device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>PRIVACY &#8211; information can be easily accessed on a device that does not have the proper firewall (hardware\/software) installed to protect users from their information being accessed. Cyber-criminals have the ability to retrieve personal information such as your bank statements, addresses, and medical records in which they will most likely use to commit fraud against you for their own monetary gains. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SECURITY &#8211; Ensuring that customers are a priority in being protected from malicious attacks can prove to be detrimental to the longevity of the business. A sane individual is not going to volunteer for their information to be stolen or misused by criminals, the customer has a better peace of mind knowing that their information is valued and protected. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ACCURACY &#8211; refers to the information being stored as a reliable or untampered with. Examples of information that is marked as inaccurate could result in the user being faced with errors in auto-fill input fields, or denial letters due to incorrect information that is added on your application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ACCESS &#8211; is a very impactful tool that should only be granted to individuals with the credentials required to see such information. Giving the wrong individual sensitive information can lead to the information being sold or used for malicious purposes. Having proper use of access control is vital to the stability of basic business ethics. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern technology has aided criminals in the cyber world and forced many individuals to come up with different methods of storing passwords which may require an individual to save personal information on their devices.
