Abstract

Cyber technology is frequently utilized to share information and data and to develop communication with a nearly infinite audience. This technology has developed a worldwide network. As a contemporary military instrument, cyber technology has the potential to be used in a variety of ways. Today’s cyber warfare dangers might be encountered in a variety of ways since modern cyber warfare has taken a backseat to physical war techniques in the twenty-first century. Extremist groups may also utilize it to spread their religious beliefs. The goal of the dissemination is to generate public support for the terrorist cause and distribute the message. To find and connect with like-minded individuals from across the globe, it is quite inexpensive to use the internet. Additionally, it aids in terrorism-related activities such as fundraising, propaganda, training, and inciting. The ease with which young people can access cyber technology can lead to radicalization in just a few minutes. The potential of cyber technology to promote information and idea sharing—which is acknowledged as a fundamental human right—is just one of its many advantages. To be clear, the same technology may be used to assist terrorism or to incite hatred and violence in society. One problem in the fight against terrorism is the use of cyber technology for radicalization and terrorism.
