Dimensions of Cyberterrorism: An Overview

Abstract

There is a tendency among human beings to use and/or abuse things whether it’s territory or technology. In this way, the advent of information technology is being exploited by the non-state actors or the terrorists. It is said that the measure of conventional terrorism and its impacts are more or less on par with the cyberterrorism and its impact. More particularly, the psychological damage on the victims is something that needs to be addressed by the policy makers sooner than later. On the other hand, it is also imperative to look into why they (terrorists) indulge in destructive activities.
