Data and Information security Hacking of information and Data As a start, What is Hacking? How it happened? Who are Hackers?

Information Ethics What is mental property and how to protect it? When you deal with data, you need software that can help you organize and analyze Data and you need to make the necessary processing to get to the correct information. The owners of these programmes must protect their mental property. This is what we call mental property and how to protect it. We find that computer programmes are protected by laws such as… Publishing and Copyrights. Copyrights -- Copyrights are given to any person who had mental production and has not published it. Copyrights mean that no one is allowed to copy or publish any part of it. This is considered breaking the laws of Copyrights. International agreements These agreements are considered licenses to deal with the programmes. The license is an important part that should be enclosed with the programme. It starts with a title of "Giving Liceses " that explains how to use the programme and the restrictions imposed on borrowing or hiring programmes and also the gurantees defining the programme. Where can we find programme licenses? - When you buy any programme, you will find the license agreement in one of the following forms: - Handouts attached to the product. -A print out in the user's guide inside the cover. - A web page from the programme Information negative sides: Information has a vital role to play in all the sectors especially at the sites of decision-making. The power of the information sector became the main criterion for the comprehensive economic power in the society. It is the feedback that helps to achieve the stability of the international system. Information has a positive and important effect on the national security, education, health, economy, the state's policy and on our life in general. We see and hear about satellites for spying that know no limits or privacies for any country. These satellites can hack on the sovereignty of any country. Foreign mass media transmit whatever they like of false information about other countries. The main aim here is economy. We notice that information technology has a great effect on our life and can control our culture and knowledge. The danger of the information technology lies in the fact that it robs the people their identity. This is clear in the book of Cross Roads by Dr. Hussein Kamel Bahaa El-Deen; the Ex-Minister of Education in Chapter Three entitled "The Retreat of the Morals and the Sovereignty of their Material Values"
