Do
you think that Mike Lynn acted in a responsible manner? Why or Why not?
Yes, I think it did make sense for me,
Mike Lynn doing the right thing in what he thinks in a responsible manner. He
discovered a threat regarding Cisco routers about security systems and found
out that it was possible to create network worm that could propagate itself as
it attacked and took control of routers across the Internet. I cannot imagine that if there was a flaw in
the system and without caring continues working with them even if threats may
harm the majority? Or chooses to inform everybody that there was a threat for
them to be aware and avoid at, and as a responsible worker, what should do? This
question always stays in my mind. Therefor, I considered Mark Lynn as a
responsible worker because he’s not choosing to be mute and disregard things as
is nothing was happened instead he chooses to speak out what he had discovered
which may be possibly affect the community and damage of property. It was not
about money because he resigned in the morning before his presentation and
continued to present what he had discovered. I think a responsible and a
professional IT worker must stand in its own beliefs and their opinions even if
other contradicts. One very strong point here I found out was when Lynn said, “I
feel I had to do what’s right for the country and the national infrastructure” and
that absolutely made him a responsible person. I think there is always
criticisms arise when good things happen and it also means that the good thing
is actually working, but person needs to stand stronger and work even harder to
completely become a right person to do the action. It is always important to do
the right thing that doing it right. On the other hand, I also see somehow Lynn
has attitude problem. He’s not completely given the details that made him
somehow irresponsible person, but what very important here is that he’s doing
the right thing, no matter what way it is.
