Cyber-terrorism
Cyber-terrorism is terrorism that uses cracking and Internet-based attacks in the service of terrorism.
As the Internet becomes more pervasive in all areas or human endeavor, individuals or groups can use the anonymity afforded by cyberspace to threaten citizens, specific groups (i.e. members of an ethnic group or belief), communities and entire countries.
A distinction is made between terrorists that use available technology and the pure cyber-terrorists .
