Cyber crime is one of the biggest problem. Now it become a concerning issue for all over the world. Many crime and social problem organized by internet. For those reason Government of different countries takes a lot of steps . For avoied this problem every internet user must follow cyber ethics.

What is cyber Ethics: According to Wikipedia Cyber ethics is the philosophic study of ethics pertaining to computers, encompassing user behavior and what computers are programmed to do, and how this affects individuals and society. For years, various governments have enacted regulations while organizations have defined policies about cyberethics. But it is more than this. The explosion of social networking and the ubiquitous sharing and posting of so much information online have changed the way we communicate. We must ensure that users understand their responsibilities for conducting themselves online. An important component of that is Cyber Ethics. Cyber Ethics refers to the code of responsible behavior on the Internet. We should all employ the basic tenets of Cyber Ethics to be good “cyber citizens.”

Issues behind cyber Ethics: Computer technologies have continually and rapidly changed and advanced in the last two decades. The impacts of these rapid changes are affecting the use and applications of computer technologies in society. These impacts bring about new focus and new scrutiny. One of the fundamental changes in the last decade has been the realization that the context in which computer technologies are used must take into account the ethical implications associated with its use. Examples of computing ethical issues include, but are not limited to: cyberterrorism; security and privacy responsibilities; intellectual property rights; online piracy; blogger litigation; data recovery; data protection; wireless computing; computer crime; et cetera. Another fundamental change is the increased importance of the legal impacts that new computer technologies introduce. However, these changes do not necessarily correspond to the changes in the computer technology itself.

Ethics, when applied to technology-related issues, is also recognized as cyberethics (Tavani, 2010). There is a plethora of viewpoints regarding the subject of cyberethics. For instance, one major question that many professionals within and without the computer community consider: Is cyberethics different from “regular” ethics? Regular ethics is defined as ethics that apply across all contexts (i.e., medical, legal, business, and religious). In some instances, this question can be answered with a definite yes. However, many theorists would state that there are differences between regular ethics and cyberethics. They base their arguments on the fact that cyberethics is based on the impact of computing technologies on individuals and society. However, this does not indicate that computing technologies have introduced new ethical

issues. Therefore, some would argue that there are no differences between regular ethics and cyberethics. Their arguments are based on the fact that computing technologies only bring a new dimension to existing ethical issues. A major problem is the practice and application of ethics in computing environments by computing professionals and users. There are many reason behind cyber ethics. They become the warning issues for modern universe. The most important issues are

1) Copyright. 2) Hacking. 3) Cyber bulling.

Copyright: Fundamentally, copyright is a law that gives you ownership over the things you create. Be it a painting, a photograph, a poem or a novel, if you created it, you own it and it’s the copyright law itself that assures that ownership. The ownership that copyright law grants comes with several rights that you, as the owner, have exclusively. Those rights include:     

The right to reproduce the work to prepare derivative works to distribute copies to perform the work and to display the work publicly

To hear intellectual property attorneys describe it, it seems so simple. Copyright covers creative works of expression fixed into a tangible medium of expression. Trademark covers business names, slogans and other items used to identify it in the marketplace. Patent covers ideas and inventions. Simple. But now some people break the copyright law. They download and upload others content without permission. For that reason original content creator suffer more. Specially in Youtube people copy and steal content .In recent years a huge number movies and videos are licked by hackers . Hacking: While this term originally referred to a clever or expert programmer, it is now more commonly used to refer to someone who can gain unauthorized access to other computers.

Cyber terrorism: Cyber terrorism occurred by internet. Maximum time this type of activates are organized by terrorist group. In The last decade, terrorism has become more decentralized, making it complex to police. Terrorist operational planning has become more sophisticated, by avoiding banking institutions and online public communications that normally provide law enforcement critical intelligence. Other implications for terrorism includes opportunities for unrestricted recruitment and propaganda, as the dark web provides an ideal space for extremist ideologies and hate narratives to thrive. At this stage, we can only surmise to the extent of the impact new technologies will have on terrorism. When ordinary citizens think of cyber threats, most are probably worried about their passwords and banking details, not a terrorist attack. The thought of a shooting in a mall or a bombing at an airport is probably more frightening than a cyber breach. Yet terrorists aim for mental as well as physical destruction, and our research has found that, depending on who the attackers and the victims are, the psychological effects of cyber threats can rival those of traditional terrorism.

This type of crimes are committed by group of criminals. It attacks computer software and hardware .It’s a worldwide problem.

Cyber ethics: "Cyber ethics" refers to the code of responsible behavior on the Internet.

Prevents Theft of Intellectual Property Prevents Loss of Various Jobs in the field of Software Development  Makes Your Computer a Better and Safe  Safer internet for children.  Prevent unexpected rumor.    

Conclusion: Last of all we shouldn’t misuse of internet. It can be harmful for us. It has become a big problem for us so we should prevent it. We should make internet safe for people and society.
