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, as the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for investigating major financial crimes, including those involving computer systems.
