The fear digitization: from “classical” terrorism to “technological” terrorism

Abstract

Terrorism has mutated with the technological explosion. Digital environments have strengthened the interconnection and training of terrorist groups. Technology has made it possible to build bridges that facilitate the different phases and facets of terrorist crime: from the preparation and dissemination of ideals to the perpetration and execution of attacks. That is why it is convenient to analyze this phenomenon from a legal perspective, but from the practical reality. As changeable and adaptable as it has always been, terrorism forces us to keep an eye on it and direct significant efforts to create and strengthen the infrastructures (including IT) that can combat this fierce global threat.
