The article focuses on the destructive phenomenon of cyberterrorism as an atypical manifestation (form) of traditional terrorism, carried out in the light of the intense development and wide dissemination of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the modern world. Based on the analysis of conceptual approaches in the understanding of the phenomenon under consideration, the conclusion is based on that cyberterrorism is a relevant conceptual notion (term), which is perceived as a method of committing a terrorist act (truncated understanding), or as any terrorist crime committed with the use of information and communication technologies (broad). Based on a comparative legal analysis, the authors examine as characteristics of regulatory and legal counteraction to cyberterrorism in the international criminal law system. The study of the mechanism of the international convention to combat traditional terrorism allows us to test the hypothesis on the potential applicability of certain international legal acts in relation to socially dangerous acts committed through the use of information and communication technologies for terrorist purposes.
