An Ethical View to Hacking

Today, I'd be Presenting my views and an ethical evaluation of either the Stuxnet worm or the activities of Anonymous.

When assessing the ethical considerations of Stuxnet and Anonymous, I feel that both offer substantial challenges in terms of ethics, though they are challenging in different ways. Stuxnet was a state-backed cyberattack aimed squarely at Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Though it aimed to stop nuclear proliferation, the potential for collateral damage and its use as a precedent for state cyberwar is worrying. Current international guidelines to prevent such attacks are ambiguous, which can make their abuse even more dangerous.
