Abstract: Starting from the provisions of Article 4 of the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime
and the provisions of Article 5 of the Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems,
both relating to illegal data interference, in this Article is performed an analysis of the offence of
altering the functioning of the computer systems provided by the Article 362 of the Romanian
Criminal Code, in order to ensure that the Romanian legislator transposed the provisions of the two
legal instruments from international and European level.
The Romanian legal regulation aims to protect the computer data stored in the information
systems in order to prevent the alteration, deletion or deterioration of the computer data or
restricting access to such data.
The article also presents and analyzes an attack frequently encountered in cybercrime, which
aims to alter the integrity of computer data.

Keywords: alteration; computer data; computer system; interference; malicious programmes;
attack.
