Which of the following is a cybercrime reporting channel designed for nationwide coordination?

• A. Local business email
• B. Law enforcement agencies
• C. National CERT/CSIRT hotlines or portals
• D. Vendor support portal

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how cybercrime reports are collected and coordinated across the whole country. A nationwide coordination channel is the national CERT/CSIRT hotlines or portals. These official centers are set up to receive reports from anywhere in the country, standardize how incidents are documented, and connect the right stakeholders—law enforcement, government agencies, service providers, and the public—for a coordinated response. They enable rapid sharing of threat information, provide guidance, and help track and escalate incidents on a national scale.

Local business email is limited to a single organization and doesn’t unify reports or coordinate across jurisdictions. A law enforcement agency is essential for investigating crimes, but it isn’t a single nationwide reporting channel designed to aggregate and coordinate across the country. A vendor support portal serves customers of a specific vendor and isn’t built for nationwide incident coordination.
