Question

Which of the following scenarios describes an IT professional using the Internet and computer system access in an unprofessional or inappropriate way? Check all of the boxes that apply.

checking social media networks during working hours

surfing the Internet during working hours for what to do on the weekend

downloading a favorite band’s latest album from a file-sharing service

Answer 1

All three. Briefly:

- checking social media networks during working hours — personal use that’s unprofessional unless explicitly allowed by workplace policy or during approved breaks.
- surfing the Internet during working hours for weekend plans — same issue: personal activity during work time.
- downloading a favorite band’s latest album from a file‑sharing service — also inappropriate/unsafe: likely violates copyright and company acceptable‑use/security policies (and may introduce malware).
