Alex deletes confidential data from his company's server, resulting in substantial financial losses for the business. What is the required mental state for Alex's conduct to be classified as theft?
Intent
Recklessness
Strict liability
Negligence
The correct answer is 'Intent'. Theft typically requires a deliberate intention to deprive the owner of property permanently. Alex's deliberate action of deleting the data, which leads to financial loss, demonstrates the necessary intent. Other options, such as negligence or recklessness, do not involve the purposeful intention required for theft.
