dc.description.abstract | Since the dawn of information technology, terrorists have used cyberspace as a weapon
to carry out their intentions. At the moment, cyber technology provides cyber terrorists
with a comprehensive and complicated set of information and instruments with which
to continue their attacks on governments. The usage of tools and the motivations of
cyber terrorism has an impact on cyber security and data protection both directly and
indirectly. This study identifies the effect of cyber terrorism on cyber security and data
protection and focuses on the relevant cases that have arisen out of cyber terrorism
and legal frameworks that have been established in addressing cyber terrorism, cyber
security, and data protection. The study analyses the new trends of cyber security risks
arising through cyber terrorism and examines how data breaches affect privacy and lead
to cyber-terrorism. This primary research is evident almost at every stage of cyberattack
it affects cyber security and data protection as a subsidiary result. This study has
identified the insufficiency of laws addressing cyber terrorism. This qualitative research
is primarily supported by case laws, journal articles and statutes. Primarily it is evident
the necessity of separate direct laws as well as Penal Code recognition for cyber terrorism
and amendments should be taken place to address cyber terrorism, cyber security, and
data protection from time to time depending on the innovations of cyber technology, for
the perception of minimizing the terrorist attacks and negative impacts on it. | en_US |
