( Pp. 223-227)

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to study issues related to the spread of terrorism in cyberspace, which is more harmful than a physical terrorist act. As a result, the problem of cyberspace security has been actualized. So, in order to make cyberspace safe, it is necessary for the state not only to have appropriate legislation, but also to organize the introduction of appropriate practices in various spheres of life, for example, economic, socio-cultural, administrative-political, etc. Electronic management exists in all spheres, it facilitates and accelerates many operations.
The objectives of the study are to analyze the additional danger to the state, in particular, since terrorists can remotely influence certain targets and cause significant harm, including physical harm. It has been established that cyberterrorists can create conditions under which huge casualties on the part of civilians are possible, destroy infrastructure facilities, escalate tension and fear within society. In addition, the victimization of young people, which is also the reason for their involvement in terrorist activities, has become widely discussed in scientific circles. This problem requires a comprehensive solution, only then will it be possible to achieve a positive result. To do this, it will be necessary to significantly improve Russian legislation and make appropriate changes. It is important to develop the computer literacy of young people, to raise their socio-cultural level, as well as to develop a firm patriotic position among the younger generation.
It is concluded that the Internet helps terrorists to develop unnoticed by government agencies. If earlier terrorists had to use radio, television and print media to spread information, now the methods of information dissemination have changed and become much easier. Through the Internet, you can search for associates, recruit, distribute any materials, not only text, but also photos and videos, carry out terrorist attacks and much more. Cyberspace opens up vast opportunities for criminals who are able to master it.
