- Abstract
The article discusses the need to analyze the goals and motives causing the participation of criminals in cyber-terrorism activities. The most significant factors contributing to the formation of the personality of terrorists are given: relative and communal deprivations leading to an identity crisis. It is argued that many potential terrorists for various reasons cannot act professionally and self-realize themselves, which pushes them to the so-called “ladder of terrorism.”. The paper analyzes various forms of using the Internet and other information and telecommunication technologies for terrorist purposes, in particular, secret communication channels between community members, recruitment of new members, remote control of similar criminal communities, and collecting money for criminal purposes. The cross-border possibilities of cyber-terrorism as the conditions and circumstances conducive to its perpetration were examined, and the regional characteristics of cyber-terrorism were also investigated.
