The virtual world became the ubiquitous background for daily interactions between individuals. The egregious interconnection of the last-generations devices is, in these latter days, an uncontestable reality. Despite the benefits provided by the interconnected world, there are unruly individuals, with a random savvy in the cyber domain, that furtively use it as their own asset. These actions are not performed wantonly, but having different substrates, from financial to political ones but, regardless the scope or the motive behind the illintentioned actions, cyber-attacks often lead to cascade effects to individuals, in particular, and organizations or even states, generally. Starting from this idea, in this paper is being assayed the way in which the cyber-attacks can be regarded as a major threat to the Romania’s national security.
