Romanian hackers stripped foreign companies of over 150 million dollars
in 2008 alone, Romania's Police representatives declared quoted by
Romanian news television Realitatea TV.

Romania's secret service representatives declared that this sum
represents only half of the total damages caused.

Inside sources declared that currently, Romanian hackers are among most
feared in the world and IT crimes were redefined.

According to a statistic published by the Romanian news agency NewsIn,
in the first six months of the year, some 436 crimes were committed by
Romanian hackers over the internet.

Accordingly, some 365 people are investigated. Because IT crimes
unfolded without a precedent in the last years, Romania's Police Forces
reorganized and created four specialized units for IT crimes alone.
Moreover, Romanians are in constant contact with their American and
European counterparts.
