The criminalistics expert, Ervin Karamuço, has spoken about the cyber attack on Albania by Iranian hackers that started several months ago.
Karamuço states that the goal of hackers through the release of information is aimed at clashes between criminal groups or even in state institutions, referring here to the publication of e-mails of the former chief police officer Gladis Nano.
"The goal of the hackers, which I would rightly call terrorism, is to create fear, panic, cause, destabilize, overthrow pro-Western governments and create a pro-Russian, pro-Iranian, pro-Eastern, pro-Brixit climate, don't forget it is their alliance.
Of course, by extracting the information, by publishing it, they do two things, the first is to target the people who for years they have followed, prosecuted, warned them to carry out actions, as was the case of the former Nano director who he was also the director of anti-terror, and on the other hand, this information increases the possibilities and premises for very fierce clashes to re-emerge between organized groups, re-emergence of clashes not only between them but also in concrete state institutions, so this has opened the box for us Pandora's box", said forensics expert Ervin Karamuço.
He points out in the show "Vetting" that the program used by the hackers to publish the data is Russian. At this point, Karamuço emphasizes that the cyber attack may be coordinated between countries that are not friendly to Albania, i.e. Iran and Russia
"The information is on Telegram, you can access Telegram very easily, interventions can also be made by international partners to close these channels on Telegram, but Telegram has a problem, the Telegram program is Durov, it is Russian, although it has moved them his servers in Dubai, he is still Russian and I remember the call he made to the people of Ukraine some time ago.
The owner of Telegram himself telling you please use Telegram I am not from the Russian agency. I didn't like it here, maybe Telegram could have been put into service as part of all this, which we call a coordinated, structured attack, not between hackers, between countries that are not friendly to Albania", he said.
