The Landmark Hacking Case Goes on Trial
If you were to decide the case of Landmark Hacking, what will be your judgment? Support your answer.
Based on the information presented, I will dismiss the case for lack of merit. The prosecution cannot establish the violation of RA8792 particularly hacking thru the presented evidence (server log and phone number records used to access the system). It is not very clear that Ms. Garcia stole, alter or destroy any information or document while accessing the system. The hacking is not a proper case to be filed, instead, breached of privacy is more appropriate. Also, we cannot consider the unauthorized access because the password was provided by the authorized personnel hired by the plaintiff and the access period happened during the employment of Ms. Garcia.

Laws controling the use of computer technology
Are you in favor of the enactment and enforcement of laws that will regulate and control the use of computer technology?
Degree of regulation plays an important role to preserve order and stability in every country like Philippines. The chaos, unfairness will prevail if we don’t have standards that would regulate the use of computer technology. The computer technology plays an important role in our every day lives and in business operation, that is why we need to establish the rules in up to what extent that action is according to the law. Laws are the foundation of our living. Without such, there will be no guidelines to fall back whenever conflicts arise. It is also our protection for possible infringement of our great ideas and inventions.
