The National Directorate for Cybersecurity (Direcțorul Național de Securitate Cibernetică) in Romania has issued a 50,000 lei fine to a central public administration institution. The penalty stems from the institution’s failure to report a security incident within the legally mandated timeframe. Details regarding the specific institution involved have not been released to the public. This action underscores Romania’s commitment to enforcing cybersecurity regulations. The Directorate emphasized the importance of timely notifications to mitigate potential damage from cyber threats. The fine serves as a warning to other public and private entities regarding their responsibilities in data breach reporting. This marks the first instance of such a penalty being levied by the DNSC.
