Explanation

Firing an employee for misconduct is a legitimate human resources and employment law action - it is not a cyber-crime. Cyber-crimes involve illegal activities conducted through or targeting computers and networks. The other options are all classic examples of cyber-crimes: manipulating computer records for fraud, circumventing security systems (unauthorized access), and intellectual property theft/software piracy are all criminal offenses under computer crime statutes such as the CFAA.
