Cyberterrorism around the world

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines cyber-terrorism as a criminal act perpetrated through computers that result in violence, death or destruction creating a sense of terror to influence the politics of a person government. Any realistic psychological study of cyberterrorism implies the direct interaction with the terrorist who is at liberty, and this would lead to the psychologist taking enormous risks, therefore, any such study is difficult to perform. The cyber-terrorist is a person with advanced knowledge in the IT field. Its purpose is to achieve a goal, such as the one assimilated to the terrorist phenomenon, in which the attacks carried out by them are apparently based on political beliefs or the desire to challenge the legitimacy of the target organizations or governments. Analytically, it is found that the aggressions committed by these groups do not reveal a pattern.
