Cyberterrorism
Cyberterrorism refers to the threat of terrorist groups attacking
the computer systems of a country and causing harm.
In May 2007, websites in Estonia were targeted by hackers
due to controversy after a Soviet war memorial was removed.
During the attacks, the networks of government ministries and
banks were bombarded with so much traffic that they could
not work. This was a ‘denial-of-service’ attack.
In May 2010, the United States
appointed General Keith Alexander as
the head of the newly formed United
States Cyber Command.
Do you think ICT is more widely used to promote or
prevent acts of terrorism?
