Statement: There has been a surge in internet hacking in recent months, creating panic among users. Courses of Action: I. The Government should make all-out efforts to identify and prosecute the culprits. II. Users should be advised to stay away from using the internet until the culprits are caught.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only I follows.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Cyber incidents require law-enforcement action and improved cyber hygiene. Advising citizens to avoid the internet is impractical and economically harmful.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Multiple hacking incidents reported.
  • Cybercrime units and CERT-type bodies exist.
  • Citizens depend on internet services for work and life.


Concept / Approach:
I focuses on investigation, attribution, takedowns, and prosecution, while parallel public advisories can promote MFA, updates, and safe practices—without abandoning internet use. II is counterproductive and unrealistic.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Activate cyber cells and incident response; coordinate with ISPs/hosting for evidence and blocks.2) Issue best-practice advisories (patching, MFA, password managers, backups).3) Pursue international cooperation for cross-border actors.


Verification / Alternative check:
Sustained enforcement plus hygiene reduces future incidents while preserving digital economy activity.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
II would paralyse normal life and does not address root causes.


Common Pitfalls:
Victim-blaming; delayed breach notifications.


Final Answer:
Only I follows.
