The Agency for Media and Information has reacted in relation to the cyber battle that is taking place between IT experts of AKSHI and partners against the enemy.

The MIA informs that the counteroffensive against the attacks is moving at a fast pace and some services have returned to normal.

After an extraordinary work, of 96 hours without rest, by the team of engineers and IT experts of AKSHI, the help of the Microsoft DART (Detection and Response Team) team and the partners of "Jones Group International", we are returning to normality.

The official websites of the ministries and the Fiscalization system have returned to full function within 12 hours.

Since yesterday it has returned to full operation:

– The General Directorate of the Road Transport Service with the system of driving permits and license plates;

– General Directorate of Customs;

– Mandatory Health Care Insurance Fund with the electronic prescription system;

– National Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices with the drug system.

Work is being done intensively for the return one by one of all the services offered in e-albania and the return to full functionality of other systems.

Following cyber-attack response protocols, immediate isolation of government infrastructures and systems, from the very first moments, meant that government systems emerged unscathed.

This turned out to be the right response to this unprecedented massive attack on our country.

We thank every citizen, business, administration employee, foreign citizen in the Republic of Albania, for their patience and understanding in dealing with this common cyber enemy.

Cyber ​​security and the provision of online public services has been and will remain our priority.'- the full response says.
