Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Imprisonment up to life

The correct answer is Imprisonment up to life.

  • A person can face life imprisonment if he/she denies authorized personnel access to the computer resource or attempts to penetrate/access a computer resource without authorization, with an aim to threaten the unity, integrity, security, or sovereignty of the nation.
  • This is a non-bailable offense.
  • The term "cyber-crimes" is not defined in any statute or rulebook.
  • The word "cyber" is slang for anything relating to computers, information technology, the internet, and virtual reality.
  • Therefore, it stands to reason that "cyber-crimes" are offenses relating to computers, information technology, the internet, and virtual reality.
