Albania says Iranian government-backed hackers attacked them online.
Reading
Albania's cybersecurity team said a hacker group helped by Iran attacked Albania's Institute of Statistics. The attack happened on February 1 and harmed some of the institute's systems.
The group that did this is called Homeland Justice and is supported by Iran's government. Iran has not said anything about this accusation.
This is not the first time Albania thinks Iran has cyber attacked them. In July 2022, Albania also blamed Iran for a cyberattack because Albania is sheltering an Iranian opposition group.
The FBI in the US and another agency said Homeland Justice is made of cyber attackers from Iran. But Iran's Foreign Ministry said they did not do the attack.
The US, NATO, and the European Union are all supporting Albania in this problem. This shows that many countries are taking the cyberattack seriously and helping Albania.
