Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of the analysis of large-scale incidents of cyber terrorism and the growing influence of the Russian government, it was concluded that cyber attacks are threats to NATO member countries and have been included in the list of security threats identified in the New Strategic Concept of NATO since 2010. This conclusion makes terrorism have a new dimension, the cybernetic one, being an adaptation of terrorism to the new era and to be considered as a new field of defense - the cyber realm. In this article I will present and analyze the hybrid cyber challenges posed by the Russian Federation and materialized in cyber attacks on Estonia, Georgia and Ukraine from 2007-2014, to highlight and argue the similarities in the political context, methods, techniques and the tactics used in fulfilling the operational-strategic objectives.
