MODULE 13 SAQ 1

1. Are you in favor of the enactment and enforcement of laws that will regulate and control the use of computer technology? Why or why not? Defend your answer.

Yes, I am in favor for having an enactment and enforcement of law to regulate and control the use of technology because it will give guidelines to follow by the user and it will give sign of boundary or limitation of the user in using a computer technology. Some cases in computing are because of lack of rules and regulation regarding of what is the proper way of using computer technology. That is why they have so many violation committed by the users, it is because of the late action regarding the use of our computer technology. Like for example, the students who made the I LOVE YOU virus, before this happen the government have no given rule.


2. If you were to decide the case of Landmark Hacking, what will be your judgment? Support your answer.

If I were to decide the case, since Cesar Mañalac is the reason why Leilani Garcia have an access with the Thames International Business School, the fault of Thames International Business School is that they way of accessing Mr. Mañalac since he is no longer connected to the said school. If the company is too large and has a lot of confidential matters, the key/password in accessing must be restricted to the authorized person and if the employee or personnel is no longer working it is automatically he/she have no access at any transaction to the company. It is responsibility of the company check time to time to the employees connections. Hacking is somewhere out there, we cannot control them, in this situation the only thing we can control is the things in our hand.
