Abstract: In recent years, people in Bangladesh have faced a new security concern over cyber-radicalization. Due to the increased visibility of law enforcement agents on the ground, Islamist extremists are turning more and more to cyberspace to further their objectives. Despite the growing danger posed by cybercrime, there is insufficient research on cyber-radicalization. So, it is essential that a comprehensive study be carried out to bridge this void of knowledge. The central research question, “How do internet-based social media tools serve as a breeding ground for violent extremism in Bangladesh?†is addressed in the study with empirical data. The research examines how cyber-radicalization affects social stability and personal lives. It also analyzes the difficulties security personnel encounter in combating the growing danger of cybercrime.
