This is the discussion thread for the lesson "Research Ethics at Every Stage" (Research Methodology, Unit 5). Ask questions, share real-world examples, and help classmates who are stuck.
Conversation starters. Try explaining one of these in your own words:
- Identify the ethics obligation that arises at each of the five research stages and name the specific rule or principle it comes from
- Explain why the decision to submit a malware study without disclosing that a real compromise was discovered in the process is simultaneously a Belmont, a CERT-In, and a responsible disclosure failure
- Trace the WannaCry and Mirai case studies from Chapter 1 through the lens of Chapter 5's ethics framework
