Abstract

Technology is a foundation of modern society, it governs its dynamics, and therefore, it is normal that also the terrorism will benefit from it. We are living a very difficult period, the terrorism is threatening the society and cultures on a global scale, and differently from the past, it has reached a global dimension. We are facing a global alert. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies worldwide are warning about possible terrorist attacks in the major cities. Parigi, Istanbul, Jakarta, Kashmir, iraq are last locations in order of time where the terrorist threat has demonstrated its strength, where terrorists have hit the defenseless population with a military strategy. The modern terrorism is instantaneous and unpredictable, a
global threat that hit its targets, but that at same time hits a wide audience thanks to the technology, it is bringing the terror into our homes. The cyberspace is an environment without boundaries, a privileged place where terrorists find resources, make propaganda activities and from which it is possible to launch the attacks against enemies everywhere in the world. Social media is an essential element of modern terrorism; these powerful platforms allow terrorists to communicate, to make propaganda and recruit new sympathizers. Every terrorist attack is similar to a dramatic representation, in which the Internet is the stage.
