Computer forensics, as a discipline dealing with the collection, analysis and preservation of digital evidence, plays a key role in the fight against cyber terrorism - a specific form of terrorism in which computer systems are used to attack critical infrastructure, financial institutions and government systems. Cyber ​​terrorism involves the use of technology for the purpose of intimidation, fear, financial loss or destruction. The historical development of cyber terrorism begins with the growth of the Internet and digital technologies at the end of the 20th century, while sophisticated attacks have emerged in the last two decades, as hackers and terrorist organizations have recognized weaknesses in global networks. The motivation for the attack includes political, religious, financial or ideological goals. The main targets of cyber terrorists are critical infrastructure, such as energy systems, transportation networks and financial institutions. Weaknesses include cybersecurity flaws, inadequate system protection, and human error. The consequences of an attack can be catastrophic, including financial losses, disruption of vital services and the spread of panic. Measures such as the improvement of cyber security, international cooperation and the implementation of technological solutions such as advanced threat detection systems are crucial in the defense against cyber terrorism. The ethics and legal aspects of cyber terrorism represent a challenge, given the problematic application of law and human rights in the digital space. The future of cyber terrorism points to the growing sophistication of attacks and the need for global countermeasures.
