Question

Data protection and privacy are major concerns with many businesses and schools moving online due to Covid 19. Find a recent data breach within the last 30 days and report it to the class. Discuss the stakeholders and ethical implications of the breach that you found.

Answer 1

Due to the COVID-19, the world is standing still at a place. No businesses, professions are persuing their routine work because of COVID-19. To continue their work, various companies or schools decided to do their work online. Students get their classes online by their teachers, and employees are working online for their respective companies. However, working online is not safe nowadays, as it has become easy for hackers to lack any company's data, and it will be very challenging for these companies to keep their goodwill in front of their clients and customers. There should be a high level of data protection for the company as there are many data breaches cases, and it is very much unsafe for these big companies and schools. The recent data breach happens on a One-class application, which is an American online studying application. The data breach includes students' names, addresses, phone numbers, enrollment numbers, and many other crucial things, which were very sensitive and should not let the data be exposed. It will be tough for the company stakeholders to manage things at this time, as data breaches can change the organization's ethics in front of the public, which is very dangerous for the goodwill of the company and school.
