Tirana

Iranian hackers launched a cyber attack on Tirana, Albania’s capital, disrupting public services. The hackers, linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, claimed the attack was in retaliation for Albania hosting Iranian dissidents. Sensitive data, including employee details and resident information, was leaked online, affecting nearly 800,000 people. Government websites and transport services faced delays, and the issuance of official documents was disrupted. The attack may have broader effects if systems are not restored soon.
