What is Cyber Terrorism?
Cyber terrorism is the premeditated, politically motivated attacks by sub national groups or clandestine agents, or individuals against information and computer systems, computer programs, and data that result in violence against non-combatant
targets. It is essentially the use of cyber space for the communication and coordination of terrorist activities, the gathering of intelligence of potential targets, a force multiplier for physical attacks by disabling emergency response systems, and for causing physical harm by electronically attacking control systems for dams, electrical systems, medical databases, and a host of other computer dependent infrastructures. Information warfare is defined as a planned attack by nations or their agents against information and computer systems, computer programs, and data that result in enemy loses. The main distinction between these definitions is that cyber terrorism is about causing fear and harm to anyone in the vicinity (i.e. bystanders) while information warfare has a defined target in a war (ideological or declared).
