Abstract
The purpose of this study is to study cyberterrorist threats emerging in the global information space and ways to counter them.
Cyberterrorist organizations set themselves the goal of destroying state systems, preventing the functioning of information structures, computer systems, databases, infiltrating the infrastructure of the public administration system and destroying it. Crimes are aimed at important objects of the state, therefore they pose a great threat and can have far-reaching dangerous consequences that can affect all citizens as a whole or their individual groups. It is important to understand not only what goals cyberterrorists may be interested in, but also what cyberspace is attractive to them, what methods they can use to achieve their goals. Modern technologies are actively studied by criminal groups for their further application in their activities. For example, they allowed gangs to abandon the hierarchical system and switch to a decentralized form, which significantly complicates the search and detention of members of such organizations. The use of technology allows criminals to increase the efficiency of their activities, better hide from law enforcement agencies.
It is concluded that the development of terrorists in the use of technology is also dynamic, since their type of activity requires deep conspiracy and flexible capabilities. Criminals, after committing certain actions, analyze them, understand what they did successfully and what they did not, exclude mistakes that may lead to their arrest or an unsuccessful attack in the future. This allows them to prepare well for the next actions. Thus, one of the key problems for the law enforcement system is the adaptability of responses to cyberterrorism. It is important to create a system that can change quickly and respond to threats, as criminals themselves change their tactics and actions.
