Jules has walked away from a lab computer without logging off. Trish sits down and, still logged in as Jules, sends inflammatory e-mail messages out to a number of students and posts similar messages on the class newsgroup.
Trish is sending mean emails under somebody else's account. I think it is terrible that somebody would do that because any info on the web can be stolen or looked at by anyone giving the person who sent those letters a bad reputation. Another sanrio without computers would be note passing between people and pretending a person wrote it when they really didn’t. A way to solve this problem is to make sure you wait for your computer to completely turn off to prevent any issues.
Lester sends e-mail to the entire student body inviting them to a BYOB party at his house while his parents are out of town. Lester receives a message from a system administrator calling him in for a meeting with school officials. He objects because he feels that his email is his own private business.
Lester sent an email that the school saw, to all his friends about an unsupervised party. I think he is partially correct about his privacy but he needs to understand nothing is safe on the web. This could happen just as easily as a gossip scenario, where this info leaked out through the school.
