Cyber terrorism represents a significant departure from traditional forms of terrorism, as it exploits the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness of
our digital infrastructure. Unlike physical attacks, cyber terrorists leverage sophisticated techniques to infiltrate computer networks, manipulate
information, steal sensitive data, and disrupt essential services. These malicious actors can be individuals, criminal organizations, or state-sponsored
entities with diverse motivations such as political, ideological, or financial gain. They employ various tactics, including hacking, phishing,
ransomware attacks, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, to achieve their objectives.
