Conclusions: The technological progress impacts the emergence of cyberthreats such as cybercrime, cyberterrorism or cyberwars carried out through the newest technology. These actions are affecting both state institutions and citizens. The examples prove that cyberwar is already being used to damage the big-scale national projects. A cyberattack often targets a politically inconvenient opponent, not to physically eliminate them but to cause chaos and a breach of trust among their adherents. Some countries use cyberattacks to influence the internal affairs of another country. Even if thoroughly planned and carried out, an attack can still change or strengthen the current government. Neglecting the threat of cyberattacks may affect the citizens gravely. It may increase the awareness of the danger or give an institution greater control over personal freedom of citizens. Cybersecurity is best achieved through education and raising awareness.
