Etymology
Cyber-terrorism joins cyber-, a modern part that points to computers and networks and originally comes from a Greek idea of 'steering' or 'control', and terrorism, meaning using fear for political or ideological goals. So, cyber-terrorism is using computers and the internet to cause big disruption or fear to reach political or ideological aims.
