Hungarian FM calls for international cooperation at cyberspace conference

Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi on Friday called for continued international cooperation in creating and maintaining a free and secure cyberspace. Closing the two-day Budapest cyberspace conference, Martonyi said it was important to find a balance between enjoying the advantages of cyberspace while minimizing the risks. Cybercrime does not recognize national boundaries, he said, adding that cybercrime offenses had increased to unprecedented levels and that the victims often were just simple users. Therefore, he called for transparency in personal data management to protect private users.
