Tim Cook, the CEO of apple encountered a huge dilemma regarding the protection of the company’s information or releasing the information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Releasing the information pertaining to the activities of customers was meant to enhance natural security. Circumstances surrounding this ethical dilemma emanated from the killing of 14 employees by Farook Syed and Tashfeen Malik. Twenty-two more employees were also killed in the incident. The only important lead in the case would be the iPhone that was found at the scene of the crime. However, the FBI could not access the information in the phone in a bid to secure the American populace in the future. An initial investigation into the killings proved that the criminals were planning other killings that would be largely destructive.
