Which offense prohibits obtaining or possessing another's financial sight order or payment card information by use of an electronic or other device capable of accessing, reading, recording, or copying it?

• A. Unauthorized Acquisition or Transfer of Certain Financial Information
• B. Organized Retail Theft
• C. Financial Institution
• D. Cargo Theft

Answer: (A)

The main concept is the criminalization of obtaining or possessing someone else’s financial information through electronic means. This offense specifically targets the unauthorized acquisition, transfer, reading, recording, or copying of financial data such as payment card details, using a device to access that information. That focus is why this option is the best choice—it directly covers both obtaining and possession of financial information via electronic means. The other options describe different crimes or entities (retail theft, a type of institution, or cargo theft) that do not address the unauthorized access to or possession of someone’s financial data.
