Cyberterrorism

Cyberterrorism can be defined as an act of terrorism done through the use of cyberspace or computer resources. For instance, a simple propaganda in the Internet, that there will be bomb attacks at a particular place can be considered cyberterrorism.

A cyberterrorist is someone who intimidates or persuade a government or organization to advance his or her political or social agendas by launching computer-based attack against computers, network, and the information stored on them. At worst, they may use the Internet or computer resources to carry out an real attack.

There are also hacking activities done towards individuals, families, organised by groups within networks, tending to create fear among people, demonstrate power, collecting data and information, relevant for ruining peoples' lives, robberies and blackmailing.
