{"title":"INFORMATION TERRORISM AS A CONTEMPORARY THREAT TO THE INFORMATION SECURITY OF MAN, SOCIETY AND THE STATE","authors":"Julia Andrusyshyn, Valeria Barannik","doi":"10.51369/2707-7276-2021-(1-3)-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51369/2707-7276-2021-(1-3)-1","url":null,"abstract":"The article discusses the content and characteristics of information terrorism as a threat to national and international security in contemporary circumstances. The relevance of the topic stems from the fact that information is currently considered a strategic resource, and deliberate manipulation of public opinion and the commission of terrorist acts to that end has become one of the most dangerous manifestations of hybrid confrontation in the contemporary international arena. Due to the impossibility of clear distinction with ordinary computer crimes and domestic manipulation in mass media, the concepts of «information terrorism» and «cyberterrorism» do not have a clear interpretation. Therefore, information terrorism is viewed in a broad sense (manipulation of public consciousness to create tension, instability, chaos aimed at achieving political or economic objectives in the interests of terrorists) and in narrow terms (cyberattacks on critical government infrastructure information systems to disable them, which can lead to economic, environmental and other disasters).\u0000The general characteristics of information terrorism (organized form of violence, psychological influence, drawing attention to a particular problem, demonstrative nature) are defined and specific characteristics inherent only in terrorist acts in the information sphere: (secrecy, size, synchrony, remoteness, internationality and publicity) are singled out. The methods of information terrorism are described, which are aimed at influencing people’s consciousness on a large scale and at imposing their will on society and State institutions through the use of disinformation, propaganda, diversification of public opinion, psychological pressure, rumours, manipulation, intimidation. The forms of information terrorism are described: in particular: information-psychological (media-terrorism) and information-technical (cyberterrorism). It is noted that media terrorism / media killer activity involves the organization of special media campaigns to create an atmosphere of civil disobedience, public distrust of the actions and intentions of the government and its law enforcement agencies by using a number of models of communicative influence (nationalist, religious, inciting model). Cyberterrorism is presented as a socially dangerous activity with the use of computers and telecommunication networks to harm or commit actions / threats that threaten society and lead to other serious consequences, through the use of the following methods: APT-attacks, malware, DoS / DDoS-attacks, unauthorized access, ransomware.\u0000It is summarized and concluded that today virtual space and mass media are widely used by various terrorist-oriented groups for their own purposes, because accessibility, the absence of censorship, the large potential audience of users, the speed with which information is disseminated and the complexity with which it is presented and received are all contributing to the spread of inf","PeriodicalId":133220,"journal":{"name":"Information Security of the Person, Society and State","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130733173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This task is relevant today. Ensuring Ukraine’s national security is a complex and multidimensional process. The complexity of this task increases when considering it in the new geopolitical environment. In the modern world, contradictions of a geopolitical nature are growing, and competition between countries is intensifying. These processes take place against the background of the humanity entering a new phase of its development associated with the formation of the information society. Issues of formation and development of the global information society are in the focus of world politics. In its turn, the information space is closely connected with world geopolitical processes, as the struggle of geopolitical actors to achieve information superiority is becoming the main direction of modern geopolitical competition.\u0000The information factor is playing an increasingly important role in the political upheavals and conflicts that are emerging in different parts of the world. Crises in modern society are diverse and can affect everyone without exception. Crises such as political and military, economic and financial, social and ethical, ecological and energy, etc. occur most often and are well studied. The entry of modern society into the information phase of its development has created the conditions for the emergence of social crises associated with the information sphere of human life. The information spheres of society and the state are closely interconnected. The process of their interaction and merging goes on intensively. Today we can observe a pronounced manifestation of information and political crises both in the domestic life of individual states and in the world political arena as a whole.","PeriodicalId":133220,"journal":{"name":"Information Security of the Person, Society and State","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117029890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subject of the study encompasses the relations arising in the field of international-legal and national-legal regulation of this activity. In March 2021, the Center for Counteracting Disinformation was established in Ukraine. Its development under the influence of threats to the state’s information security requires a detailed analysis of theoretical and legal foundations of countering disinformation, taking into account the fundamental principles of freedom of thought and speech. \u0000The aim of the article is to reveal international legal approaches and national legal regulation of countering disinformation. \u0000Theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison were used in the process of research. In particular, the work provided an analysis of international law, as well as the European Union initiatives aimed at combating misinformation. The comparative-legal method was used in conducting a comparative study of international and Ukrainian legislation. The article presents the outcomes of the analysis of the empirical basis of the study, namely: international law and domestic regulations of Ukraine, research works, etc. \u0000The methodological approach to the study of international legal issues and national legal regulation of countering disinformation is based on the fundamental principles of freedom of thought and speech and their mandatory consideration in the development of a new legislation. \u0000The research reveals the presence of several groups of government experts within the UN system who focused on studying the issues related to cyber operations, the use of ICT that contradicts the norms of a responsible behavior of states. They proved that the issue of countering misinformation had not yet been resolved.

Cyber crimes are a new phenomenon in general crime, therefore, the development of ad-vanced techniques to combat them is re-quired. In this process, the forensic sci-ence plays an important role, first of all, for the preparation of recommendations on methods for investigating cyber crimes. Forensic analysis of information technology crimes which are called cyber crimes indicates that their investigation is different from the investigation of other crimes. This is largely due to the fact that computer objects can be both means of committing such crimes and objects of criminal encroachment. Information stored on computer media can be per-ceived and evaluated solely by using computer equipment and digital technol-ogy.
