Question

which phrase best describes the concept of identity theft?
(1 point)

○ the intersection between technology and morality

○ when digital assets are damaged as opposed to stolen

○ the practice of using digital assets safely and securely

○ when personal information is stolen and misused

Explanation:

To determine the best description of identity theft, we analyze each option:

• "the intersection between technology and morality" is too broad and not specific to identity theft.
• "when digital assets are damaged as opposed to stolen" is incorrect as identity theft involves stealing personal info, not damaging digital assets.
• "the practice of using digital assets safely and securely" describes digital security practices, not identity theft.
• "when personal information is stolen and misused" accurately defines identity theft, as it involves stealing someone's personal data (like Social Security numbers, credit card info) and using it fraudulently.

Answer:

D. when personal information is stolen and misused
