This study examines types of cyber ethics behaviours exhibited by undergraduate students at the Federal University of Agriculture (FUA), Nigeria, and the University of Zululand (UZ), South Africa. Both quantitative and qualitative design and a survey method were used.  The sample for the study was purposively selected, comprising 14 Information Technology (IT) professionals for the interview and 380 undergraduate students from the two universities. The findings of the study revealed that undergraduate students from the two universities exhibited a higher prevalence of cyberpiracy, cybersex, and cyber smearing. It has been established that these vices are more prevalent in undergraduate students from a Nigerian university.  Based on the findings of the study, the study recommended more awareness of the negative effect of cyber ethics behaviours and the review of cyber ethics policies in both Nigeria and South Africa.  }, issn = {2708-2695}, pages = {11--18}, url = {http://41.63.0.109/index.php/journal/article/view/73} }
