Answer 1

For history perspective go through the beginning of phenomena and event

History of Cyber Security

Late in 1988, cyber security came into light when a man named Robert Morris tried to infiltrate Unix terminals using a known bug, and then copy itself. Robert Morris became the first person successfully charged under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

History of Cyber Terrorism

Public interest in cyberterrorism began in the late 1990s, when the term was coined by Barry C. Collin.

Cyberterrorism is the convergence of terrorism and cyberspace.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as, “The unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group(s) of two or more individuals, against persons or property, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” (FBI, 2002).

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) defines terrorism using a slightly broader brush, calling it “the unlawful use of, or threatened use, of force or violence against individuals or property, to coerce and intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious or ideological objectives” (DOD, 2002).

For Humanity perspective you can use the folllowing:

the right to privacy, freedom of expression, and the free flow of information.
