- Banks should always assume customers’ computers are infected, and take protection
measures.

- Strong cooperation is needed to take down global command centres.
- Test operational policies by practicing, like in the Cyber Europe 2012 exercise

The paper identifies the mandatory incident reporting clauses in Article 13a of the Telecom package and Article 4 of the e-privacy directive, the proposed e-ID regulation’s Article 15, and Articles 30, 31, 32 of the Data Protection reform.
