Ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the behaviour of an individual or group of people. Computer ethics is the application of moral principles to the use of computers and the internet. Examples include privacy policies, intellectual property rights, and online etiquette or "netiquette".(Christensson, 2022)
Not many people not about Computing Ethics, but today I`m trying to explain one of the ten Computing Ethics that are out there. And that rule sounds like this: Thou shalt not use a computer to steal: Using a computer to break into the accounts of a company or a bank and transferring money should be judged the same way as robbery. It is illegal and there are strict laws against it.
Nowadays, most applications and websites, are having a monetization part, to make a long story short, most of them are selling services, and this brings people, who want to steal. But is not only money, this includes data as well, data that could be sold after for a big value of money.
You may ask why I want to put and highlight this in my main project, and the reason is I will have a database in MySQL and I want to keep my data safe and not be in harm.

To conclude , respect the internet and the internet may respect you in return .
