Any private company can declare its own computer to be a protected system under the IT Act. Which of the above are correct according to the IT Act, 2000?

    Solution

    Section 70 provides that only computer resources notified by the Central Government can be declared protected systems. Unauthorised access to such systems is punishable with imprisonment. Private companies cannot unilaterally declare their systems as protected systems. Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct, making option A correct.
