Describe a case:
The topic that I choose is that a 15 year-old teenage hacker
arrested over FBI computer hack. A teenager from Scotland got arrested by
British Police for breaking into the FBI Systems on 16th February. “A
Police Scotland spokesman said: 'Following a search of a property in the
Glasgow area on Tuesday, February 16, a 15-year old male was arrested in
connection with alleged offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.”. He is a
member of the hacktivist group named “Cracka with Attitude”.
Moral reasoning:
I think what he did is totally wrong, because he actually
hacked into the FBI systems, which are extremely private. Under the Computer Misuse
Act 1990 of the Parliament of the United
Kingdom, he broke the law of “Unauthorised access to computer material”
(section 35). In my opinion, FBI is an powerful agent of the United States, all
of their information are sensitive. Breaking into the FBI computer system could
be damage very important information, or at least leading the way for other
hackers to the next attacks. As my knowledge, the FBI employees nearly 35000
people, what would happen if those people got leaks of their information, such
as phone number, email address; and they would be in sensitive positions too. “If
they can’t secure their digital doors, there’s no reason to think any branch of
government can.”
The example of FBI information leaks is that hacker
publishes contact info for 20,000 FBI employees.
