Cyber terrorism

Cyber terrorism refers to the use of digital attacks by individuals or groups to create fear or disrupt critical infrastructure. This category examines threats and incidents where hackers target computer systems to cause significant damage or chaos. These attacks can involve data breaches, system outages, or other forms of cyber disruption aimed at achieving political, ideological, or financial goals.

Cyber terrorism can target government networks, financial institutions, or public utilities, potentially leading to widespread harm. The goal is often to instill fear or exert control through the threat or actual execution of these digital assaults. Understanding cyber terrorism involves analyzing methods, motives, and impacts of these attacks, as well as exploring strategies for prevention and response.
