Understanding Cyberterrorism: Exploring Threats, Tools, and Statistical Trends

Since cyber terrorists are skilled at using a variety of tools and platforms, including radio, television, transportation, the internet, and social media, to carry out their attacks, cyberterrorism poses a serious danger to both national security and the digital sphere. The attacks cover a broad range, have the ability to affect any country, and range from data theft and destruction to message manipulation, network intrusion, and ransom demands. Employing known and new computer security theories that are designed expressly to handle this threat will be necessary to combat the threat of cyberterrorism effectively. This study undertakes a thorough analysis of the statistical patterns of cyberterrorism as well as an in-depth evaluation of terrorists' use of cyberattacks. Our objective is to determine the overall occurrence and effect of these attacks while gaining a comprehensive knowledge of the strategies used to breach digital systems.
