| description | The current stage of development of cyberterrorism in Europe is considered. The progression of this phenomenon is facilitated by the Internet, which has a significant impact on all spheres of public life, providing a huge amount of information to any user and encouraging the placement of such information and its dissemination. The factors that complicate the process of countering cyberterrorism are identified; it is proved that modern cyberterrorism is an integral part of hybrid wars and one of the effective levers of achieving political goals in the international arena. The political, institutional and legal mechanisms of countering cyberterrorism in the European regional cybersecurity system are revealed. The ways and methods of carrying out cyberattacks, as well as the capabilities of the European regional system of countering them are shown. This problem is highlighted at the international level, documents are indicated that provide methods of counteraction. The experience of advanced countries in the fight against cyberterrorism is examined. It is noted that a feature of cyberterrorism is the desire of the attackers to commit a terrorist act not only with dangerous consequences for the infrastructure and the population, but also with significant public resonance. This factor is especially complicating for the current situation, because social networks today allow you to cover any information at the desired time, with the desired goal and in the desired manner. However, cybercriminals are constantly improving their activities; there are new forms of terrorism on the Internet, new ways of intimidating the population, new methods of influencing the minds of people. At the same time, the structure of cybercrime differs significantly in different countries depending on the nature and degree of development of information technologies in them, the spread of the Internet, the use of electronic services and e-commerce. The aforementioned necessitates constant updating, improvement and adjustment of the existing anti-terrorist national, regional and international legislation. |
