(i) Software piracy: Software piracy refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of software, including copying and installing software on multiple computers without proper licensing. Software piracy is a form of intellectual property theft and is considered unethical because it infringes on the rights of the software owner and can lead to financial losses.
(ii) Unauthorized access: Unauthorized access refers to the act of accessing a computer system or network without proper permission or authorization. This can include accessing someone else’s computer or network without their consent, or using a password or login credentials that have been obtained illegally. Unauthorized access is considered unethical because it can compromise the security and privacy of a computer system or network, and can lead to financial losses or legal consequences.
