Why is Romania a vulnerable target for IT attacks
Dragos Georghiu, a Cluj, Central Romania-based leading official in fighting organized crime, who is also an expert on IT criminality explained for HotNews.ro why phishing attacks are more frequent in Romania. He says that since credit cards have become so widely used, it is normal that felons take advantage of new ways to cheat as many people as they can.
Thus, they erroneously believe that by stealing through the internet, authorities have a harder time tracking them. Moreover, banks do not inform citizens clear enough on possible ways a person may be electronically robbed.
In an international list, Romania is classed third among countries with most phishing attacks. In these conditions Romanian Police authorities will create a new specialized division to counter IT crime.
