“…Some authors (DREMLYUGA, KOROBEYEV, FEDOROV, 2017) argue the need for a broader approach to cyber terrorism, in which the general concept of "cyber terrorism" should cover, on the one hand, directly cyberattacks (terrorist cyberattacks), and, on the other hand, all other actions performed through the information and communication environment to support terrorism. Comparative analysis of scientific views on the understanding of cyberterrorism proposed by foreign researchers (DENNING, n.d., 2007;HUA & BAPNA, 2012;BOSCH, 2004; SHARP PARKER, 2010) ; SHINDER, 2020; CLOUGH, 2015; KRASAVIN, n.d.), allows us to see the general and special constitutive aspects of the phenomenon in question. Some scientists (DINSTEIN,2015;LILIENTHAL, 2015;BROWNLIE, 1963) conclude that in the modern conditions of the scientific and technological progress development, certain negative manifestations of international relations committed in the information environment can be considered as illegal acts (from the standpoint of international criminal law).…”
