In 2015, computer expert and manager at Tech-World, a major laptop tradmg company, Sami Branden, releasedconfidential company documents to the press informing the public about a faulty feature in the new laptops which the company was planning on introducing them to the market within weeks. According to the company code of conduct, Branden violated the code which prohibits employees fromsharing confidential company information. Yet despite the fact that he broke the company law, Branden arguedthat he had a moral obligation to act. He gave a justification for his "whistleblowing" by stating that he had a duty "to inform the company'sconsumers". According to Branden, the company's unethical actions had to be exposed regardless of legality. Various joumalists were conflicted about the ethical implications of Branden's actions. Some thought, "He may have committed a crime..but he had done the comparty's customers a great service" Others did not see him as a hero, but a criminal: "by violating the code of his company, rather than reporting it through legal channels, Branden chose to break the law". The CEO of the company, Bill Rose, thought that Branden has to be punished for his actions, arguing that: "Branden's actions broke the company's code of conduct whichis supposed to help keep confidential infomation safe from our competitors". a.
