Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to research and summarize data related to the use of the global Internet by terrorist organizations in order to promote radical ideas, incite interethnic and interreligious intolerance, recruit new members, psychological terrorism, information support of their criminal activities. The problems of posting materials of an extremist and terrorist nature on the global Internet are of concern to the entire world community. This problem threatens the security of many countries and their citizens, bringing colossal political, economic and moral losses, exerting pronounced psychological pressure on large masses of people. Using modern information technologies, criminals become less vulnerable to law enforcement agencies. Many resources of the global network (sites, blogs, news feeds) targeted at the Russian target audience are physically and legally located outside the Russian Federation, which makes it difficult to block and remove illegal content. The article analyzes the use of Internet resources for terrorist purposes and the various psychological methods of influence used by terrorists aimed at inciting hatred and intolerance on the basis of national and religious affiliation or enmity. Methods of carrying out hacker attacks on control systems of critical infrastructures of the state, including objects of life support, industry and defense, are considered.
