Cyber terrorism involves using computer networks to cause harm and further social, political, or ideological objectives. It can involve shutting down critical infrastructure like power grids, accessing emergency response systems, or stealing sensitive information. One example is a movie where a cyber terrorist causes blackouts, traffic accidents, and surveillance access. Past incidents include DDoS attacks against NATO by hacktivists in 1999 and changing a patient's records to cause a lethal injection. In response, the global partnership IMPACT was formed to prevent, defend against, and respond to cyber threats through cooperation between governments, industry, and cybersecurity experts.

1. CYBER TERRORISM

2.  Massive computer network
run various things around
us such as lights, signals,
financial systems etc.
These things are essential
in our day to day life.
 Cyber terrorism can be
defines as an assault on
electronic communication
networks”. To be more
specific, these networks
are those that have direct
impact on our daily lives.

3.  Cyber terrorism is sometimes referred to as
electronic terrorism or information war. Computer
networks and information technology
infrastructures are fragile and easily brought
crashing down.

4.  The premeditated use of disruptive activities, or the
threat thereof, against computers and/or networks, with
the intention to cause harm or further social, ideological,
religious, political or similar objectives. Or to intimidate a
person in furtherance of such objectives.

6.  Lets explain the effects of cyber terrorism
with example of a movie:
 Live free or Die Hard: Bruce Willis

7.  As seen in the movie the cyber terrorist use the
computer to:
 Shut down the power grid causing a blackout
 Access all the emergency services such as police,
ambulance and military
 Control gateways and toll roads causing accidents
 Accessing all the cctv cameras and security to keep
an eye on people and finding the targets
 Access to crucial information which could send the
entire country back to stone age
 And to top it off the entire mayhem was done by
just using computers and hackers

8. 1997:
Chaos Computer Club creates
ActiveX Controls that trick
Quicken into removing
money from a user's account
and transferring it someplace
else.
1998:
Ethnic Tamil guerrillas swamped
Sri Lankan embassies with over
800 e-mails a day for more than
two weeks. Some say this was the
first known attack by terrorists
against a country's IT
infrastructure.

9.  1999: NATO computers are
blasted with e-mail bombs and
hit with denial-of-service attacks
by hacktivists protesting the
bombings in Kosovo.
 1999: Assassins hack into a
hospital computer to change the
medication of a patient so that he
would be given a lethal injection.
He was dead within a few hours

10.  Because of this need the International Multilateral Partnership
Against Cyber Threats (IMPACT) was formed.
 IMPACT is the first global public-private initiative against
cyber-terrorism.
 IMPACT is dedicated to bringing together governments,
industry leaders and Cyber Security experts to enhance the
global community’s capacity to prevent, defend and respond to
Cyber Threats.
 IMPACT’s global HQ facility is located in Cyberjaya,
Malaysia

11. It is impossible to ignore the fact of how extreme
Cyber Terrorism can and will be in the future
to come.
Cyber Terrorism may be more preventable then
actual physical attacks on cities, civilians and
other countries
