Kizza (2014) largely treated cyber-attacks as "cybercrime," conveying the assumption that these attacks are by definition illegitimate and criminal. However, he occasionally seems to recognize that there might be motives that are more ambiguous and may have a social, moral, or political basis. Lessig (2006) also referred to Internet hacker ethic as rebellious and libertarian and not always criminal in a moral sense. One example cited by Kizza (2014) is the Seattle WTO protest and mass computer attacks that are "increasingly being used to avenge what the attackers consider to be injustices" (p. 97). Another example we discussed was the Stratfor attack. Also, recently we see many examples of cyber security invasions by governments and corporations.
Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represents a morally, ethically, or criminally ambiguous situation but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course.

Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and critical of the behavior of the attackers.
