Abstract

Starting with an analysis of the international doctrine on the conceptualization of cyberterrorism, the aim of this article is to assess whether Law no. 52/2003 also foresees and punishes this form of terrorism. The countless meanings of cyberterrorism may be reconducted to cyberterrorism in a strict sense or cyberterrorism in a broad sense. The Portuguese law, although not taking a clear position on this distinction, foresees and punishes both modalities.
