Terrorism has changed throughout history as technology has evolved. Terror organizations adapt new technologies into their organizational apparatus and attack methodology. Recent developments in Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs) allows terror organizations to perpetrate more coordinated attacks. In this paper, I explore how ICTs have changed terrorist attack strategies in three phases: pre-attack, during the attack, and post attack. I create a dataset that will analyze the impact of higher internet penetration rates in states on the number of terrorist attacks. I use negative binomial regression on 160 countries from 2000-2018. I find that the expansion of ICTs in states increases the number of terrorist attacks.
