Cyber terrorists are state-sponsored and non-state actors who use cyberattacks to achieve their objectives. Actors such as transnational terrorist organizations, insurgents and jihadists have used the internet for planning attacks, radicalization and recruitment, propaganda distribution, a means of communication and for disruptive purposes.

Cyberterrorism can be also defined as the intentional use of computers, networks, and public internet to cause destruction and harm for personal objectives. Experienced cyberterrorists, who are very skilled in terms of hacking can cause massive damage to government systems and might leave a country in fear of further attacks. [4]
