Question

Select the correct text in the passage. Danny is starting out a new job at an IT firm. Which of the following practices are unethical business practices that Danny should avoid at work? On his first day Danny uses his allocated username and password to logon to his system. He visits the required websites and then sends a report over to Alex. Alex is not at his seat and Danny urgently requires some documents, so he logs in to Alex's computer and mails the file to himself. On his second day Danny needs to create a report of the rising trends in Virtual Reality, he pulls up an article form an International newspaper and uses the exact content for his report. Danny wants to access his bank account to make a transaction, but he avoids doing it at office and does it when he gets home.

Answer 1

Logging onto Alex’s computer and mailing the file to himself is an unethical business practice Danny should avoid at work. This would be considered an invasion of privacy, as logging onto someone else’s computer, even if you’re in a rush, is generally frowned upon.

Answer 2

Alex is not at his seat and Danny urgently requires some documents, so he logs in to Alex's computer and mails the file to himself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logging in to another employee's system without his/her consent nor informing the boss of the firm is an unethical business practice.

Alex might have some vital and private information or data on his system in which he alone must access it.
