Exploitation activities exclude computer storage media, video and digital recording media, and media equipment.

Exploitation activities exclude computer storage media, video and digital recording media, and media equipment.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only some media are excluded
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Exploitation activities are scoped to areas where information can be readily analyzed and acted upon, while certain physical media require different handling and processes. Computer storage media, video and digital recording media, and media equipment are typically treated under forensics or material handling procedures because they require preservation, imaging, hashing, and chain-of-custody steps before any analysis. Because exploitation activities are defined to exclude these media types, the statement is correct: those media are not included in exploitation activities. The other options don’t fit because the policy clearly specifies an exclusion, not a partial exclusion, no exclusion, or an unspecified scope.
