computer ethics

 "Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work." this the second commandment of computer ethics commandments. Therefore, the computer must not be used to cause harm or damage. This could happen by using the computer to destroy others' files, attacking their systems, or any other malicious activity. In other words, developing malware to cause attacks is unethical. 

This commandment has a strong connection to my research. Since malware is malicious software developed by hackers to destroy and damage individuals' or companies' systems or networks (Masud et al., 2011),. Which is the opposite of what this commandment is stating.
