Bitdefender: Interferențele Rusiei în alegerile din România și Moldova

Andrei Ioniță from Bitdefender highlights the electoral interference experiences of Romania and Moldova as lessons for Europe. He emphasizes that such operations aim to undermine public trust in democracy rather than just alter election outcomes. Ioniță warns that European states must recognize these threats as ongoing challenges, not limited to election periods. He stresses the importance of understanding the impact on public perception and the erosion of trust in democratic institutions. The insights were shared during the Bucharest Cybersecurity Conference 2026, organized by DNSC and Bitdefender.
