IS 130 Ethics and Information Security

The article i choose is about protecting your perssonal identity online. The author Erika Rottenberg a Berkley graduate explains how easy it is for people on the web to obtain your information from social networking site. Millions of people today use sites such as myspace and facebook and sometimes put a little to much information about themselevs online for the world to see. Hackers and people who steal identities see sites such as these as gold mines.
This article is relevant to chapter four because it deals with both Ethics and Security Information. After reading the text I would feel more comfortable starting up my own personal business without the worries of having information stolen. Not only is it not ethical to steal information its just plain wrong.
