Question 2: Analysis of a Current IT Security Breach
Choose an IT security breach that has occurred during the current semester (August 2015-present) and illustrates legal concepts that this course has covered to date. Prepare an essay that describes the issue - citing factual sources as well as sources that may illuminate the issues, as you now understand them. Discuss the legal framework around this issue/event. Analyze the facts in light of the legal framework and offer your own conclusion on who should be responsible from a legal or ethical perspective.
Question 3: Ethical Decision Making
The city will face catastrophic flooding following the failure of its power grid and the infrastructure, which supports that grid.
