Abstract

The chapter examines the current status of the cyberterrorism phenomenon. It makes a distinction between tools and techniques to "support" terrorism (like online training and propaganda) and actual cyber attacks to critical infrastructures, such as energy grid or the banking/financial systems. The author concludes that, while the former is quite widespread and growing, instances of the latter are still (and will continue to be) lacking.
