Question

impersonating him instead a person online is an example of

a. cyberbullying

b. identity theft

Explanation:

• Cyberbullying involves using digital platforms to harass, threaten, or embarrass someone. Pretending to be a person online (impersonation) can be a form of cyberbullying as it may cause harm or distress to the targeted individual.
• Identity theft is about stealing personal information (like credit card numbers, SSNs) for financial or other gain, not just pretending to be someone.
• Targeted malware is software designed to attack a specific system or network, not related to impersonation.
• Hacking is about unauthorized access to systems, not about pretending to be someone.

Answer:

A. Cyberbullying
