Journal Title: Challenges of the knowledge society ( Provocari ale societatii cunoasterii ) - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 13
Abstract
Cyberterrorism has become the latest global threat that highlights security leaks in the digital world and its outcomes. Nowadays economic and social context as well as the advances in the field of information technology facilitated individuals, private entities and governments to become increasingly interconnected through computer structures. Cyber-attacks have seen an alarming development, and they have been successfully used in paralyzing activities, such as rail, naval and air traffic, being even used by some state entities in military and economic espionage. Moreover, cyber-attacks have been able to block activities of state institutions, corporations, financial and banking institutions, cross-border trading companies, as well as individuals, viewed as single end users of products or services. Thus, it would be an understatement to say that cyber terrorism has become a worldwide menace; it is a live global phenomenon that spreads fear whilst being impressively effective in terms of seriousness and widespread damages. Given the significance of this global negative phenomenon with potential devastating effects, depending on the severity with which it manifests, cyberterrorism has been chosen as the subject matter of this paper. The aim of the paper is to go into the depth of this global phenomenon, starting from the economic, political, social and technological factors that favored the emergence and hasty development of cyber-terrorism.
