Features of the Use of Digital Technologies in Countering Cyberterrorism
The purpose of this study was to study the possibilities of digital technologies in countering cyber terrorism, which means the commission of terrorist acts using computer and telecommunication technologies. A distinctive feature of this type of terrorism is that cyber terrorists resort to using the achievements of scientific and technological progress (personal computers, smart phones, the Internet) to carry out terrorist attacks. As a rule, the result of a cyber terrorist act is the theft of secret data by the defense industry and various government agencies of the state, theft of funds and information from banks, individuals and legal entities. To combat cybercrime and cyber terrorism in particular, law enforcement and international agencies have also begun to master the use of digital technologies to counter terrorists and extremism. In particular, it can be seen that some states are joining their forces for a joint fight against terrorism. The main task of law enforcement agencies is to develop methods for tracking crypto currencies, as well as attracting the tax service to tax crypto currencies. Crypto currency cannot be left unsupervised by the state, its turnover must be controlled, and if it is found to be used in illegal activities, the person who used it for this must be punished. It has been established that an important aspect of the fight against cyber terrorism and the use of digital technologies for criminal purposes is the training of law enforcement officers. By all means, it is necessary to avoid the catastrophic consequences of hacker attacks that encroach on non-Russian life support systems for people, power systems, railways, a critical information structure, etc. And the solution to this problem should be a priority task for both police officers and other bodies - the prosecutor's office and the federal security service. Involving them in the investigation or search for terrorists will have a positive effect on the fight against terrorism.
