Cyber terrorism is the use of (chiefly) information technology to cause harm, and with the intention of terrorizing a target group. Because of the ubiquity of computing resources in all aspects of modern society, global interconnectivity, rapid technological pace, and the availability of disruptive tools, cyber terrorism is an asymmetric (or uneven) threat. Cyber terrorism is not cyber crime, because cyber criminals wish to avoid detection, and it is not Cyber Warfare, because warfare is conducted between politically recognized nation-states.
