Describe ethical principles both supporting the actions of the principal actors (such as minimizing harm or damage to targets of the attacks) in a computer ethics case and contradicting the actions of the principal actors, citing specific, credible sources that support one’s assertions and conclusions.

Introduction
Computer ethics is a rich topic that affects all of us in our interconnected world. To build good ethical
judgment capabilities, Bynum and Rogerson (1) suggest applying a multi-staged approach to case
study analysis where these stages are defined as: (1) detailing the case study, (2) identifying key
ethical principles and specific ethical issues raised by the case, (3) calling on your experience and skills
for evaluation, and (4) applying a systematic analysis technique. In this assignment, you will perform
the first three of these steps for a case study.The specific course learning outcome associated with this
assignment is:
Examine the ethical considerations and dilemmas of a diverse and interconnected world.
