Question

is a type of cyber crime where someone misuses another person's personal information to impersonate them, usually to commit fraud.

• A. Cyber Stalking
• B. Cyber Bullying
• C. Identity Theft
• D. Email Spoofing

Hint:

To prevent Identity Theft, practice strong digital hygiene: never share your PII (Passwords, OTPs, PINs) with unverified sources, and use multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyzing Cybercrime Activities:
Let's define each cybercrime behavior to isolate their main characteristics:

Step 2: Evaluating the Options:

• (A) Cyber Stalking: Pervasive online harassment, tracking, and surveillance of a victim over the internet.
• (B) Cyber Bullying: Using digital media (like social networks) to harass, threaten, humiliate, or target another person.
• (C) Identity Theft: The unauthorized collection and use of another person's personally identifiable information (PII) --- such as Social Security Numbers, driving licenses, banking credentials, or dates of birth --- to pretend to be that person to open bank accounts, commit fraud, or hide criminal activity.
• (D) Email Spoofing: Modifying the sender's details in email headers to make it look like the message came from someone else. It is a delivery mechanism, not the crime of total personal impersonation itself. Thus, impersonation and fraudulent activity fall under Identity Theft (C).
