Which term describes crimes using technology through methods like hacking?

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

Answer: (D)

This question tests how we name offences that are carried out with digital tools. The best term is Technological Crime because it directly links the wrongdoing to the use of technology as the method. It covers a range of tech-enabled activities such as hacking, data breaches, malware, and online fraud, making it the most accurate umbrella for crimes where technology is the central means.

Moral Crime is about acts judged as morally wrong, not specifically about tech. Hate Crime involves targeting people based on characteristics like race or gender, which isn’t about the use of technology. E-Crime relates to crimes conducted electronically, which is close but often used to emphasize the electronic medium itself; Technological Crime is the broader, more encompassing label that fits the idea of using technology as the mechanism of crime.
