new details from the cyber attack at the border crossing points of the entire country, among them in Rinas, Kakavijë, and Kapshticë, have thrown the customs into chaos.
Crossing points have been forced to open registers manually, in order to avoid long queues. For the attack, Edi Rama again accused Iran.
The attack on the TIMS system has raised the alarm in the state police. This moment can be used by criminals to easily cross the border.
A pencil register alone will not stop the wanted person. This is a good path for drug traffickers or other criminals to escape at the entrance or exit since the control will not pass through the suspicion and risk filters of the "warehouse" of names and data that are in the system .
Albanian borders are assumed to be impenetrable to crime when the system is in operation. The managed border control system, TIMS, has been used for years at all 24 border crossing points in the country, writes 5 svele.al .
No person with a criminal record, or convicted in the Albanian and foreign authorities, can enter Albania and go out of it, as all passports are processed in this system.
If the person is wanted or convicted, this is immediately reflected in the system and the border police proceeds with his arrest. But from today it has turned into a fence without a guard and without a system.
