Abstract

The article reveals the basics of extremism and terrorism in cyberspace. Given the development of the Internet, there is a growing interest among extremist groups and terrorist organizations in using cyberspace, as a result, cyberterrorism and cyber extremism have become a potential threat worldwide. It has been revealed that information necessary for people to learn, develop, and create new ideas can be used by terrorists and extremists as a means of committing a crime. Despite the complex of measures aimed at combating this category of destructive phenomena, by the end of 2023, an almost 30 percent increase in cybercrimes was recorded compared to 2022. In this regard, it is important to understand that preventing such a socially dangerous category of crimes is a much more effective measure than combating them.
