Which of the following are the two essential features of cyber crime?

  • A.Computer technology as modus operandi and intangibility of the environment
  • B.Offender computer skills and victim ignorance of computer technology
  • C.Hardware and software
  • D.Hackers and crackers

Answer: B

The key gives B, offender computer skills and victim ignorance of computer technology.

I could not find a published source that names these as the two essential features of cyber crime, so I cannot confirm the key from a reference. Another option, A (computer technology as the modus operandi and the intangibility of the environment), also describes cyber crime in a way that is common in textbooks. The explanation therefore follows the Commission's key and does not claim more than that.

Options C and D are the weakest: hardware and software are the equipment a computer uses, not features of a crime, and hackers and crackers are kinds of offender, not features. Option B at least names two conditions that make a cyber offence possible, the offender's skill and the victim's lack of knowledge.
