Cybercrime

Representatives of law enforcement agencies and the cybersecurity community of the Republic of Moldova, dealing with cybercrime and cybersecurity action, engaged in a training on the use of common tools for incident/evidence handling and digital forensics, organised in the framework of CyberEast+, a joint project of the European Union and of the Council of Europe.

Participants examined the Standard Operating Procedures for cooperation between CSIRTs and Law Enforcement in the Republic of Moldova that were developed in 2021 under the CyberEast project and proposed a set of amendments, in light of current cybercrime threats and trends. Discussions revolved around compatible cyber-incident/cybercrime reporting platforms, as well as tools for gathering, processing and analysing electronic evidence. Project counterparts focused on examples of effective cooperation from various countries, common taxonomies and incident response policies.

As a result of this training, a set of general principles and standards to be used by members of law enforcements and computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) are being considered by local authorities.  

The CyberEast+ project will continue to support initiatives for trusted cooperation between cybersecurity institutions and criminal justice authorities in the Republic of Moldova.
