“…Cyberterrorism is widely used and reasonably well understood, owing mainly to the tendency of terrorist groups to use the Internet and the ever-increasing level of sophistication with which these terrorists use the Internet [3]. The convergence of increased permeation and use of the Internet and the emergence and proliferation of both domestic and international terrorism has shifted the focus of 21st-century counterterrorism efforts and measures from the more conventional forms of terrorism to less conventional ones such as cyberterrorism [4].…”

“…Moreover, some researchers agree that for cyber terrorists, the likelihood of launching a cyberattack depends on the perceived ease of getting caught [4] [5] [16]. As rational actors, cyberterrorists weigh their actions' costs and benefits before deciding whether to launch an attack.…”

“…Some technologies also make it impossible for those posting and spreading misinformation, disinformation, and fake news to be identified or for the recipients of such information not to trace their sources or points of origin [4]. Further, this has made sharing important information among law enforcement or counterterrorism agencies extremely difficult.…”

“…Unfortunately, erasing already posted information comes with the risk that it has long been shared with many other people by the time it is done.

Cyberterrorism poses a significant threat to the national security of the United States of America (USA), with critical infrastructure, such as commercial facilities, dams, emergency services, food and agriculture, healthcare and public health, and transportation systems virtually at risk. Consequently, this is due primarily to the country's heavy dependence on computer networks. With both domestic and international terrorists increasingly targeting any vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks, information sharing among security agencies has become critical. Cyberterrorism can be regarded as the purest form of information warfare. This literature review examines cyberterrorism and strategic communications, focusing on domestic cyberterrorism. Notable themes include the meaning of cyberterrorism, how cyberterrorism differs from cybercrime, and the threat posed by cyberterrorism to the USA. Prevention and deterrence of cyberterrorism through information sharing and legislation are also key themes. Finally, gaps in knowledge are identified, and questions warranting additional research are outlined.

For strengthening the anti-corruption movement in the digital era, this research formulated three alternative solutions, which are: 1) strengthening consolidation of civil society organizations; 2) supporting the formulation of comprehensive cyber regulations; and 3) implementing campus mitigation. Those solutions could be the foundation for fulfilling and guaranteeing anti-corruption activists’ digital rights, especially for the freedom of expression and right to be protected in cyber-space, which is crucial for digital democracy in Indonesia.
