Understanding Cyber Terrorism from Motivational Perspectives
Abstract:
There is no universally accepted definition of cyber terrorism, the lack of which is both an issue and a challenge in countering cyber-terrorism threats. To better understand why cyber- terrorism acts are committed, this study examines cyber terrorism from motivational perspectives. Motivational forces behind cyber terrorism can be social, political, ideological, and economic. In this research, data were analysed using a qualitative method. A semi-structured interview with purposive sampling was used for data collection. The outcome of this study serves as a useful foundation for understanding the concept of cyber terrorism from motivational perspectives.
