This book outlines the complexity in understanding different forms of
cyber attacks, the actors involved, and their motivations. It explores
the key challenges in investigating and prosecuting politically
motivated cyber attacks, the lack of consistency within regulatory
frameworks, and the grey zone that this creates, for cybercriminals to
operate within. Connecting diverse literatures on cyberwarfare,
cyberterrorism, and cyberprotests, and categorising the different
actors involved – state-sponsored/supported groups, hacktivists,
online protestors – this book compares the means and methods used in
attacks, the various attackers, and the current strategies employed by
cybersecurity agencies. It examines the current legislative framework
and proposes ways in which it could be reconstructed, moving beyond
the traditional and fragmented definitions used to manage offline
violence. This book is an important contribution to the study of cyber
attacks within the areas of criminology, criminal justice, law, and
policy. It is a compelling reading for all those engaged in
cybercrime, cybersecurity, and digital forensics.
