1. Debate Surrounding Definition of Cyberterrorism and Lack of a Common Definition 
The term ‘Cyberterrorism’ is still ambiguous, does not have a formal definition academically or legally. There are many opinions and debate around it. Simeon (2019) mentioned that states have devised their definitions of terrorism independently and have demarcated the jurisdiction of what constitute terrorism in legal terms. The definition changes with different states catering to their own requirements. This makes the definition of terrorism itself non-standard.
Cyberterrorism is a derivative term of terrorism introduced by Barry Collin in 1997. Marsili (2019) indicated that the derivation is ought to be ambiguous when the original term still remains undefined. As the states are defining the term as per their concerns, to arrive at a common definition acceptable to all is very difficult.
Challenges for a Common Definition 
There are few challenges associated with establishing a common definition like the use of computers or internet in attacks related to terrorism is rather recent and therefore lacks proper terms and lexicons. Similarly, the use of internet is vast and everywhere, different agencies can be targeted differently as cyber – terrorism, there it is difficult to generalize the kind of harm that can be caused. Agencies would certainly differ even if a broad outline were drawn to describe this term.
Two Competing Definitions, Differences and Implications
Alford (2017) informed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the law enforcement agency of United States of America, has defined cyber terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated attack in information, computer systems, computer programs and data, which resulted in violence against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents”.
