Abstract

This article examines how the phenomenon of terrorism is being reshaped by rapid advances in digital technology. It aims to provide a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding the impact of encrypted communication, online radicalization, the gamification of violence and emerging cyberterrorist threats. By exploring both the evolving tactics of extremist actors and the new vulnerabilities within modern societies, the study seeks to clarify how technological change is transforming the form and function of contemporary terrorism and to identify key areas for further research and policy response.
