The cyber-terrorism has not begun in full-scale yet. We have seen some minor attempts to threaten functionality of certain servers, but what we really fear are attacks on critical infrastructure (such as water structures, food supplies, health care institutions), that could not only cost money, but also human lives. For example, imagine an outcome of a situation in which a terrorist succeeds in opening dams valve control.
Terrorism is a relative that cannot be defined easily as the phrase 'One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter'. It means that terrorism is a ploy used by an oppressor to justify their actions to the oppressed
Use of force or threats to intimidate.

Cyberterrorism is a controversial term. Some authors choose a very narrow definition, relating to deployments, by known terrorist organizations, of disruption attacks against information systems for the primary purpose of creating alarm and panic. an assault on electronic communication networks. In the related links box below, I posted the wikipedia article on computer crime.
Cyberterrorism is where terrorists take control of one country's entire server network and crash it using a variety of methods, including, but not limited to: botnets, Trojan horse viruses. Once a cyberterrorist has control of a system they can take control of anything controlled by the internet, including the national power grid. They can also access anything that is connected to that network of computers, including home computers, but especially government computers.
