In October, 2014, hackers broke into the computer network of Sony Pictures entertainment. The hackers called themselves the #GOP (Guardians of Peace) , and they dumped a large amount of confidential data online for the world to see. The U.S. intelligence community concluded that the North Korean government was most likely responsible for the hack, in large part because of their frustration about a comedy film called "The Interview," in which a bumbling journalist attempts to assassinate North Korea's "Dear Leader." North Korea denies the claims. If the #GOP was just a rogue group of hackers, then this would be a cybercrime. If, however, this was an act perpetrated by the North Korean government, we would call it ______.

A) cyberespionage
B) cyberterrorism
C) cyberwar
D) cybernetics

In your text, a 2009 study by the Center for Immigration Studies concludes that while a multitude of past studies suggested that immigrant communities have lower crime rates than their native-born counterparts, the data conflicted their own findings, where they assert that incarceration statistics prove that a correlation exists between immigrants and crime, even if a majority of those individuals are incarcerated for immigration offenses and non-violent drug offenses.
