Storing electronic information about individuals can create ethical issues that should be addressed. The first is privacy. Companies in social media, shopping, medical and finances store critical personal information. This can range from banking information, contacts, medical information and behaviors. Some companies may sell this information or some companies may have a network that could be susceptible to attacks. Emphasizing on cyber attacks, another ethical issue, when a company stores information like mentioned before they may or may not be directly responsible for that information. If the organization is attacked, the PII of users is exposed and could be stolen to be used against unsuspecting users. Another ethical issue is how information is transferred. This can include if or not that information being transmitted and received is encrypted. If not it could be stolen. also in instances of power outages or equipment failure, information can be corrupted or lost.
