Abstract

The present monographic study aimed to understand what circumstances are involved in the emergence of cyber terrorism, unravel the emergence of cyber warfare propitiated by the development of new information and communication technologies and explain about which attack mechanisms are used. The primary objective of this research is to analyze this relationship that exists between cybercrimes, cyberterrorism and common terrorism and how these topics are treated in legislation. The method used was the descriptive one, through bibliographical research on the themes. It points out how the development of information and communication technologies opened the way for terrorism to evolve until it reaches the way it develops in the information society. It concludes with the finding that the legislation relates not only conceptually to the terms involved, but also to the way the agents practicing these crimes organize themselves and also to the means and mechanisms used.
