Crimes using technology, such as hacking, fall under which term?

• A. Technological Crime
• B. E-Crime
• C. Hate Crime
• D. Honour Crime

Answer: (A)

Crimes that involve using technology or are carried out through digital means are described as technological crime. This term explicitly signals that technology is central to the offense, whether the act happens online or via devices and networks. It’s the best fit here because hacking and similar offenses rely on manipulating technology, so the label directly captures the method and tool involved. E-crime can refer to online offenses as well, but in many contexts the broader term technological crime is used to cover tech-enabled crimes more comprehensively. Hate crime and honour crime describe offenses motivated by prejudice or social norms, not the involvement of technology, so they don’t match the scenario.
