(2) Attacks against information systems, in particular as a result of the threat from organised crime, are a growing menace, as evidenced by the cyber attacks on Estonia and Georgia as a method of modern warfare, and there is increasing concern about the potential for terrorist or economically or politically motivated attacks against information systems which form part of the critical infrastructure of Member States and the Union. This constitutes a threat to the achievement of a safer information society and an area of freedom, security and justice, and therefore requires a response at the level of the European Union.

(3) There is evidence of a tendency towards increasingly dangerous targeted and recurrent large scale attacks conducted against information systems which are critical to states or to particular functions in the public or private sector. This tendency is accompanied by the development of increasingly sophisticated tools that can be used by criminals to launch cyber-attacks of various types.
