With the expansion of technology and the desire to downsize costs within the corporate culture, the technology trend has steered towards the integration of personally owned mobile devices (smartphones) within the corporate and enterprise environment. The movement, known as "Bring Your Own Device" (hereinafter referred to as "BYOD"), seeks to eliminate the need for two separate mobile devices for one employee. While taken at face value this trend seems favorable, the corporate policy and legal implications of the implementation of BYOD are complicated by significant investigatory issues that overshadow the benefits of utilizing BYOD. In this paper, we set a context for the BYOD conundrum, then examine associated corporate policies, highlight the limitations to the digital investigator's reach regarding digital evidence and review the investigatory challenges presented by BYOD. We conclude by offering recommendations such as implementing proper policies/procedures, utilizing Mobile Device Management, corporate owned devices, and enforcing agreements.

“…The former requires the development, introduction and conformity to the same set of standards of conduct and, at the same time, consideration of the country-specific similarities and differences such as consumers" income inequalities, the divide between information rich and information poor citizens and the existing country legislative procedures to name but a few. In light of this, Spinello (2000) considered some options for possible Internet governance and proposed three top-down models: first, direct governmentstate intervention, secondly, coordinated international intervention and thirdly, selfInternet governance.

Spinello (2000) illustrates the major costs and benefits of adopting each model. For example, the first model (direct government -state intervention) could be abused by users who look around for more relaxed country environments and, overall, it entails a strong enforcement difficulty.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractToday, millions of people from around the globe play online role playing games (MMORPG), in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world, either using their existing identities in the physical world, or more often than not, through new virtual identities that might not even be remotely linked to the identities of the players in the physical world. The number of users is growing at an exponential rate and we are probably on the verge of a new development that is going to be as significant as the Internet itself. This positioning paper will discuss the business opportunities and challenges of such a virtual world, that of Second Life, and will examine the resultant corporate social responsibility implications focusing on the ethical and policy-related ones. This will help to identify important research questions that need to be systematically addressed. Keywords IntroductionThe rapid development of massively multiplayer online role play games, also know as MMORPGs (pronounced more-peg), has resulted in the re-creation of many real world activities in the virtual environment. These activities are often released from many of the constraints of the physical world, although in some cases they are still primarily reflections of it. In the past few years several MMORPGs have been experiencing exponential growth and for many people they have evolved far beyond mere online games. The economic, social and policy implications for both the real physical world and the virtual world are likely to be very significant, as will be illustrated by many emerging examples later in the paper.In this positioning paper we will focus on the business activities and commercial applications that virtual worlds can host, and examine the wider implications of these virtual environments, often referred to as "metaverses". We will use the case of one such metaverse, that of Second Life (http://www.secondlife.com), to illustrate some of the key issues and challenges that arise when transacting in virtual environments. We will start by first considering the attributes of Second Life, in order to illustrate its popularity and usage, before examining how it can foster business opportunities for entrepreneurs. The paper will then move on to discussing the market implications and, based on these, propose an extension to the traditional taxonomy of business activities by including the "meta" dimension of the environment. Following this, the paper will consider the corporate social responsibility implications of this emerging business phenomenon by focusing on important ethical and regulatory issues. This is still an emerging and rapidly evolving area and more systematic research is clearly needed and further research avenues are suggested at the end.

“…At the same time, a "phisher" can pretend to be a bank by implementing a fake Web site to steal personal data from victims. In addition, the connectivity of the Internet enables social interactions over long international distances, and the speed of the Internet permits damage to be done and criminals to disappear quickly (Spinello, 2003). Cyberspace relationships are usually weaker than real-world relationships because of the limited communications bandwidth, so there is less pressure of social obligation to act in a trustworthy manner (Castelfranchi, 2000).…”

The Ethics of Deception in Cyberspace

We examine the main ethical issues concerning deception in cyberspace. We first discuss the concept of deception and survey ethical theories applicable to cyberspace. We then examine deception for commercial gain such as spam, phishing, spyware, deceptive commercial software, and dishonest games. We next examine deception used in attacks on computer systems, including identity deception, Trojan horses, denial of service, eavesdropping, record manipulation, and social engineering. We then consider several types of deception for defensive purposes, less well known, including honeypots, honeytokens, defensive obstructionism, false excuses, deceptive intelligence collection, and strategic deception. In each case we assess the ethical issues pro and con for the use of deception. We argue that sometimes deception in cyberspace is unethical and sometimes it is ethical.
