PAPER WRITING 2
Cyberte
orism
The potential threat posed by cyberte
orism has provoked considerable alarm. Numerous security experts, politicians, and others have publicized the danger of cyberte
orists hacking into government and private computer systems and crippling the military, financial, and service sectors of advanced economies. Psychological, political, and economic forces have combined to promote the fear of cyberte
orism. From a psychological perspective, two of the greatest fears of modern times are combined in the term cyberte
orism. The fear of random, violent victimization blends well with the distrust and outright fear of computer technology.
Debate continues to exist regarding the nature and definition of cyberte
orism. Using the assigned readings and additional resources, discuss the extent to which cyberte
orism exists and the characteristics that distinguish cyberte
orism from cybercrime. Provide specific examples to support your application and analysis of the debate su
ounding the nature and definition of cyberte
orism. In addition, discuss the potential effects of cyberte
orism, providing specific examples. Your paper should be 4-6 pages in length and include at least five specific examples of different types of cyberte
orism that might be conducted and the associated effects that would be expected from such an attack.
