This article deals with the problems of one of the most urgent threats in the world today — the problem of terrorism, and its essential and cross-border form — cyberterrorism. It is of growing interest in the analysis of information and communication technologies used in the implementation of terrorist activities and directly for acts of cyberterrorism. We present several relevant examples and practical cases of the use of information and communication technologies by terrorists. The authors concluded that it is necessary to jointly search for solutions to combat the terrorist threat from terrorist organisations within the international community.
