CYBERTERRORISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The concept of cyberterrorism:
The development of scientific and technological progress associated with the introduction of modern Information Technologies has led to the emergence of new types of crimes, in particular, illegal entry into the operation of electronic computing machines, systems and computer systems, theft, possession, seizure of Computer Information, a dangerous social phenomenon that has become widely known as "cybercrime".
Cyberterrorism can be attributed to technological types of terrorism. Unlike traditional terrorism, this type of terrorism uses the latest achievements of Science and technology in the fields of computer and Information Technology, radio electronics, genetic engineering, and Immunology in terrorist actions.

Ways terrorist groups use the internet for their own purposes:

1. collecting money to support terrorist activities.
2 .creation of websites with more detailed information about terrorist activities, their goals and interests, posting information about meetings of persons supporting terrorists on these sites.
3.withdraw money from financial institutions in order to prevent their acts of cyberterrorism, not to undermine their reputation.
4.use the internet to inform the public about future and planned actions on the site's pages, or to send such messages by email.
5.relocation of bases for preparing terrorist actions.
6.include participants in terrorist activities who are not suspected of anything, such as hackers who do not know what their activities will lead to at the bottom.
7.use the features of email or electronic bulletin boards to send encrypted messages.
8.construction of terrorist-oriented websites on the Internet with information about explosives and explosive devices, poison, toxic gases, as well as instructions for their manufacture with your own hands. Only on the Russian-language internet itself, there are dozens of sites with such data.

Cyberterrorism of the XXI century:
What modern terrorists are interested in using cyberspace is that creating a cybertruck does not require huge financial costs – it only requires a personal computer connected to the internet and special programs and viruses.
Terrorism is developing rapidly in the global computer network: internet sites suddenly appear, often change formats, and then change addresses. If in 1998 almost half of the 30 terrorist groups included in the list of "foreign terrorist organizations" of the United States had their own sites, then today all terrorist groups are on the internet.
Among them are Peruvian terrorists" Sendero Luminoso "and" Tupaka Amaru", fighters of the Afghan movement" Taliban", Georgian nationalists from the group" Free Georgia"," Tamil resistance movement " and other terrorist structures serving on various organizational and ideological grounds.
Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Abu Nidal Organization, Black Tigers (associated with the Tamil Ilam osatu Tigers) not only use cyberspace to agitate their homes, but also use it as a weapon to attack national infrastructure facilities and attack foreign websites and servers.
The internet audience of terrorist sites is used to launch potential and Real supporters of terrorists, to influence the international public opinion that has not directly intervened in the conflict, to change the moral qualities of citizens of the "enemy"-states and organizations against which terrorists fight.
