Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to involve young people in destructive ideologies and illegal activities. Regardless of age, people have access to modern technology that can access the Internet and perform certain tasks. The youth audience has an increased risk group, as they can easily be recruited, for example, by terrorists. Terrorists spread disinformation, intimidate the population, create panic, try to create an atmosphere of helplessness. Terrorism has a political character, but it can operate not only in the political, but also in the social, psychological, and economic spheres. Cyberspace helps to perform such tasks quickly, with minimal risk of being caught. Terrorists keep in touch with each other, communicate, recruit new members, manage groups, and distribute extremist materials also using the Internet. Most spheres of life, including the economy, are gradually globalizing and going digital, this makes them more convenient and accessible, allows you to speed up many processes and make them accessible from anywhere in the world. However, such automation brings not only progress, but also a threat from cyberterrorists. The purpose of cyberterrorism is to destabilize the political situation, put pressure on the authorities, force them to make certain decisions that are beneficial to terrorists, as well as the threat of violence in order to influence decision-making by public authorities.
It has been established that the attention of terrorists in recent years has been attracted by social networks that allow them to enter into direct contact with individuals or groups, conduct a dialogue, and defend their position. Networks help them to keep in touch with their colleagues, to prepare attacks. The preparation, coordination and conduct of terrorist acts can also be carried out via the Internet with the help of special programs.
