ABSTRACT
Lone wolf terrorism has been considered the fastest-growing form of terrorism, in part due to technological advances. Historically, lone wolves adopted a radical ideology on his or her own, without external influence, and then acted or attempted to act on those self-acquired beliefs. Today, lone wolves may connect with others online to seek validation of their beliefs or gather information to plan an attack. This chapter will focus on how lone wolves radicalize on the Internet and how emerging trends in technology can facilitate the radicalization process.
