Equifax’s Breach of Trust
Earlier this semester, we analyzed and applied ethical challenges from Vallor’s list of the “Ten Ethical Challenges” to the Equifax Data Breach.
For Case Response Paper 3, we will examine the Equifax Data Breach and its impact on trust using another case from Ethics Unwrapped at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-studies.
In this case, we will focus on Trust and Privacy issues. Although the security incident itself is an important area to examine, we will delve more into how Equifax and its leadership did not handle many of the trust and privacy challenges well. Framing much of our study using the concept of loss aversion, as well as pertinent ethical theories, we will extend our analysis beyond Equifax to another company.
To prepare for this case, please do the following:

You can use many of these as resources for the Equifax discussion. However, you will need to find additional articles for responses to questions 5, 6, and 7 in particular.

Please note the following:
Make sure to use headings of Section1, Section2, and Section3 in the paper.
Number all responses by question number.
Make sure to answer all parts of each question.
Pay particular attention to key words in the questions. For example some questions require responses within a loss aversion context.
Remember to follow the General Response Paper Guidelines.
Use headings and sub-headings to organize your paper. At a minimum, we need three (3) section headings and each question number should be a sub-heading. This is in addition to an Introduction and Conclusion section for five (5) total headings.

Case Response Paper Guidelines and ParametersCase Response Paper RationaleEach paper focuses on an ethical dilemma involving information technology and/or cybersecurity. In these papers students will be asked to develop supported arguments to answer various questions or situations using a rational, systematic analysis of the conduct presented in each case.Some of the papers will require students to use specific ethical theories (e.g., social contract theory) and others will permit students to choose which theory to use when analyzing the case. By crafting ethical responses to difficult scenarios, students will develop ethical stances concerning the various cybersecurity challenges they may encounter. Case Response Paper ApproachLeading up to each paper, we will discuss topics that provide the background that enables us to expand, extrapolate, and apply analysis to the particular case topics. Guided by these discussions, students will be asked to answer questions using supported academic arguments. These arguments will include propositions needed for an argument, such as premises to include grounds, warrants, and backing (Quinn, App. B). Make sure to review how to construct valid, supported arguments in the textbook.Case Response Paper Guidelines1 of 3
