5. CYBER-TERRORISTS
An individual that uses computernetwork
technology to control, dominate, or coerce

or social objectives.

6. Why do they
use
cyber attacks !!

7. Cyber terrorist prefer
using
the cyber attack methods
because of many
advantages for it .

8. • It is cheaper than traditional
methods .

9. • There are no physical barries or
check to cross .
• The action is very difficult to be
tracked

10. • They can hide their personalities
and location .

11. • Big targets can be attacked

12. Forms of Cyber terrorism
Privacy Violation
•The law of privacy is the recognition of the
individual's right to be let alone and to have his
personal space inviolate.
•Man has become sensitive to publicity.

13. Secret information appropriation and
data theft
•Information technology misuses the data
of private individuals
•A computer network owned by the
Government may contain valuable
information concerning defense and other
top secrets.

14. 1) The cyber terrorists may also use the method
of distributed denial of services (DDOS) to
overburden the Government and its agencies
electronic bases.
2) This is made possible by first
infecting several unprotected
computers by way of virus attacks
and then taking control of them.
Distributed denial of Service Attack

15. This activity may divert the attention of the
security agencies for the time being thus
giving the terrorists extra time and makes
their task comparatively easier.
Network Damage and Disruption

16. What would the
Impact be!!
The intention of a cyber terrorism attack
could range from economic disruption
through the interruption of financial
networks and systems or used in support
of a physical attack to cause further
confusion and possible delays in proper
response
1.Direct Cost Implications.
2.Indirect Cost Implications.

17. Effects
•Cyber terrorism can have a
serious large-scale influence on
significant number of people.
•It can weaken countries'
economy greatly, thereby
stripping it of its resources and
making it more vulnerable to
military attack.

18. • The internet has provided a virtual war
for countries having problems with other
such.
• As taiwan aginaste China.
Israel against Palestine.
India against pakistan, China

19. Examples
•Terrorists in Romania gained access to
the computers controlling the life
support systems at an Antarctic
research station, endangering the 58
scientists involved.
•In 1998, ethnic Tamil guerrillas
swamped Sri Lankan embassies with
800 e-mails a day over a two-week
period. The messages read "We are
the Internet Black Tigers and we're
doing this to disrupt your
communications."

20. Terrorists Groups
Pakistan cyber
army

21. How can we protect
ourselves?
•All accounts should have
passwords and the passwords
should be unusual, difficult to
guess.
•Audit systems and check logs to
help in detecting and tracing an
intruder
•If you are ever unsure about the
safety of a site, or receive
suspicious email from an unknown
address, don't access it

22. CONCLUSION
• After a close look at some of the
facts, I have come to the these
conclusions. Some of my conclusions
point to the fact that Cyberterrorism
could be an actually threat. But the
other part is that there is too much
media hype created around the
possiblity of a Cyberterrorism.
