Question 1

Which of the following is not a device that generate digital evidence?&#10;A) cell phone&#10;B) laptop&#10;C) smart watch&#10;D) thermostat

Accepted Answer

A thermostat is not typically a device that generates or stores digital evidence. While it may have some digital capabilities, such as being connected to a Wi-Fi network, it is not typically used for personal or communication purposes, which are the main sources of digital evidence.

Question 2

Which of the following is least likely to involve computers in commission of a crime?&#10;A) child pornography&#10;B) car theft&#10;C) fraud&#10;D) kidnapping

Accepted Answer

Car theft can be perpetrated without the use of computers, whereas the other options typically involve the use of computers or the internet in some way. Child pornography and fraud often involve the use of computers to store or transmit illegal materials, and kidnapping could involve the use of technology to track or communicate with a victim or accomplice.

Question 3

Which of the following is the least important aspect of investigating a cyber crime scene?&#10;A) search the neighborhood surrounding the crime scene&#10;B) secure electronic devices&#10;C) protect evidence from data storage from change or alteration&#10;D) search for evidence that would identify the owner of the device

Accepted Answer

Searching the neighborhood surrounding the crime scene is not relevant in a cyber crime investigation as the crime is typically committed remotely using electronic devices. The other three options are all important aspects of investigating a cyber crime scene.

Question 4

Which of the following is not recent federal legislation that affects computer crime?&#10;A) Cybersecurity Information Act&#10;B) Federal Exchange Data Breach Notifications Act&#10;C) Consumer Privacy Protection Act&#10;D) US Consumer Advocacy Act

Accepted Answer

The other three options (A, B, and C) are recent federal legislation that directly address computer crime or cybersecurity issues. The US Consumer Advocacy Act is not related to computer crime.

Question 5

Which of the following is not part of a preliminary computer crime investigation?&#10;A) Check if device is on and turn it off immediately&#10;B) Determine if a crime has been committed&#10;C) Examination of the device&#10;D) Look for physical evidence if the computer crime was part of a physical crime

Accepted Answer

Checking if the device is on and turning it off immediately is not a part of a preliminary computer crime investigation. Instead, the device should be left on and disconnected from the internet to preserve any digital evidence that may be present. The other options, determining if a crime has been committed, examining the device, and looking for physical evidence if the computer crime was part of a physical crime, are all important steps in a preliminary computer crime investigation.

Question 6

Which of the following principles allows computer evidence to be seized without a warrant?&#10;A) The exigent circumstances doctrine&#10;B) The occupant of the apartment is not the owner&#10;C) The electronic device is a cell phone&#10;D) The electronic device is turned off

Accepted Answer

The exigent circumstances doctrine allows for the seizure of computer evidence without a warrant in situations where there is an urgent need to act to prevent evidence from being destroyed or lost.

Question 7

Which of the following is not an important component of a computer crime investigation?&#10;A) Obtain a search warrant if required&#10;B) Determine who will testify in court if there is a trial&#10;C) Identify potential suspects&#10;D) What type of electronic device is to be seized

Accepted Answer

Determining who will testify in court if there is a trial is more related to the preparation for the trial phase rather than the investigation phase of a computer crime. The investigation primarily focuses on obtaining evidence, identifying suspects, and understanding the technical aspects of the crime, such as the type of electronic devices involved.

Question 8

Which of the following is not important data that should be gathered about an electronic device prior to seizure?&#10;A) What apps are on the device&#10;B) Is there security in place on the system including passwords&#10;C) What, if any laws have been violated&#10;D) Is there probable cause of a crime having been committed

Accepted Answer

The apps on a device are less critical to gather prior to seizure compared to understanding security measures, legal violations, and probable cause, which are essential for legal and procedural reasons.

Question 9

Which of the following is not an important component of recording a computer crime scene?&#10;A) The configuration of the computer network&#10;B) The suspect computer displays&#10;C) Sketching the location where the device is located&#10;D) External components of the computer or other device

Accepted Answer

Sketching the location is not directly related to the technical aspects of the computer crime scene, unlike the other options which involve critical information about the computer and its network.

Question 10

What precaution should be taken to prevent the remote destruction of the data in a mobile device?&#10;A) placing in a sealed, airtight plastic bag&#10;B) wrapping it in aluminum foil&#10;C) placing in a Faraday cage&#10;D) none of the above because it is not possible to destroy data remotely

Accepted Answer

Placing the mobile device in a Faraday cage prevents any signals and communications from entering or leaving the device, thereby preventing any remote destruction of the data. A sealed plastic bag or aluminum foil will not provide the same level of protection. It is possible to destroy data remotely, therefore option D is incorrect.
