CFE – Investigation — Question 62

Butler, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), needs to obtain a copy of a statement that the chief executive officer (CEO) of Accord Investments, a venture capital firm, posted on the firm's website sometime last year. Unfortunately, the quote has been removed from the website. Which of the following resources would be the BEST choice for Butler to consult to find an earlier version of the web page that he needs?

Answer options

• A. The deep web
• B. The internet archives
• C. The invisible archives
• D. The free web

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The internet archives is the most suitable choice because it maintains historical snapshots of web pages, allowing users to access content that has been removed. The deep web and invisible archives do not focus on archived web pages, while the free web only includes currently available content, which would not include the deleted statement.
