lilamumutrash 1,782 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 My friend was traveling from her home to her work place. While she was in her trip, she found a bag that has a laptop and used clothes. (Other people on the trip doesn't want to have liability so they act like it was not there; the driver also isn't dependable and trust-worthy) Scenario 1: Now, while on her work place, she tried to open the laptop, however, it is password protected. Since it is password protected, should she try to open it with another friend whose good with tech, hence, hack and get information inside, in order to contact the person or not? Scenario 2: Now, while on her work place, she tried to open the laptop. Regardless of the laptop being password protected or not, is this considered ethical?
