A few days ago, Albania fell prey to cyber attacks from Iran for the second time. " Hackers have attacked the TIMS system ", was the news given by Prime Minister Edi Rama himself, who said that we are working with partners to protect our digital systems.
We remind you that the cyber attack caused queues at all border points in the country, as well as at Rinas airport, but no flights were canceled.
The Iranian newspaper writes in an article that the government of Iran has offered assistance to Albania to investigate two cyber attacks, for which the Albanian government and international partners accuse Iran of being behind them.
The Iranian National Cyberspace Center says it is ready to send a team of specialists to Tirana to investigate the attacks in question.
"Albania's claim to accuse Iran of carrying out cyber attacks is a pure lie, as the Islamic Republic of Iran itself is among the victims of such attacks, which were carried out against its fuel distribution network, port terminal, metro system and nuclear facilities", the statement says.
Albania decided to cut diplomatic relations with Iran due to the cyber attack, with the argument that sufficient evidence had been obtained that hacker groups sponsored by the Iranian government were behind the attack.
Albania thus became the first country in the world to cut off diplomatic relations due to a cyber attack. Iran called Albania's decision to cut off diplomatic relations as "unfounded" and "unsubstantiated"./ Iranintl.com
