The number of cybercrimes is growing. "Most cyber attacks against Bulgaria come from the territory of Russia. We have certain doubts that special units for such attacks are structured in Russia. Whether they are at the state level, whether a group of hackers has been structured, we have yet to find out." This was announced by the Deputy Prosecutor General and Director of the National Investigation Service Borislav Sarafov, who took part in a conference between Bulgaria and the Crown Prosecution Service of Great Britain on the subject of Cybersecurity. 

He emphasized that there are more traces of crimes in the virtual world than in the real world, as long as you know how to look for them. 
According to Sarafov, Bulgaria easily copes with this task, as it has the necessary software and hardware, thanks to the USA and Great Britain, BNT reported.
