Privately-run companies must be part of the solution to fight cybercrime, and co-operation between the public and private sectors is needed to combat the phenomenon, Director General of the Romanian National Cyber Security and Incident Response Team (CERT-RO) Dan Cimpean told a specialist conference on Thursday.

Several cyber-crime cases dismantled by Romanian police in cooperation with international law enforcement show that the Eastern European country is still a hub for cyber-related crime.

Italian and Romanian police recently dismantled a cybercrime gang that stole 1 million euros from hundreds of customers of two major European banks, Europol announced on Thursday.
