Which organization coordinates computer crimes investigations throughout the United States?

Answer options

• A. Internet Fraud Complaint Center
• B. Local or national office of the U.S. Secret Service
• C. National Infrastructure Protection Center
• D. CERT Coordination Center

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the local or national office of the U.S. Secret Service, as they are responsible for investigating computer crimes. While the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (A) is a place to report fraud, it does not coordinate investigations. The National Infrastructure Protection Center (C) focuses on critical infrastructure protection, and the CERT Coordination Center (D) provides cybersecurity incident response but does not have the same law enforcement authority.
