  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cyberspace

Abstract

This chapter analyses the most important concepts and characteristics about cybercrime, cyberterrorism and cyberwar. For the first two concepts, data are provided on profiles and on the different types of people who engage in this kind of criminal behaviour. In the case of cyberwar, we present the most relevant data, and we highlight the lack of studies that describe its actors from the psycho-sociological point of view.
