Abstract :
Cyberterrorism is a new terrorist tactic that
makes use of information systems or digital technology, especially the
Internet, as either an instrument or a target. As the Internet becomes more a
way of life with us, it is becoming easier for its users to become targets of
the cyberterrorists. The number of areas in which cyberterrorists could strike
is frightening, to say the least.
The difference between the conventional
approaches of terrorism and new methods is primarily that it is possible to
affect a large multitude of people with minimum resources on the terrorist's
side, with no danger to him at all. We also glimpse into the reasons that
caused terrorists to look towards the Web, and why the Internet is such an
attractive alternative to them. The growth of Information Technology has led to
the development of this dangerous web of terror, for cyberterrorists could
wreak maximum havoc within a small time span.
Various situations that can be viewed as acts of
cyber-terrorism have also been covered. Banks are the most likely places to
receive threats, but it cannot be said that any establishment is beyond attack.
Tips by which we can protect ourselves from cyberterrorism have also been covered
which can reduce problems created by the cyberterrorist.
