After the American embassy, ​​the British embassy in Tirana also reacted to the Iranian cyber attack against Albania.

In a post on social networks, British Ambassador Alastair King-Smith condemns the attack and says that the United Kingdom will continue to work with the Albanian Government, in support of the interests of Albanian citizens.

"We condemn Iran's irresponsible cyber attack against Albania. We stand with our NATO allies and partners. The United Kingdom will continue to work with the Albanian Government, in support of the interests of Albanian citizens", writes the British ambassador.

The UK reaction

The UK has today (Wednesday 7 September) condemned the Iranian state for a cyber attack against the government of Albania that destroyed data and disrupted essential government services, including paying for utilities, booking medical appointments and enrolling pupils.

The National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC) estimates that cyber actors linked to the Iranian state are almost certainly responsible for the series of cyber attacks against Albanian government infrastructure from July 15, which caused significant impact on public online services and other sites. of the government website.

The websites of the Albanian Parliament and the Prime Minister's Office, as well as 'e-Albania', a portal that Albanians use to access a range of public services, were attacked and shut down. The attackers also leaked Albanian government data, including details of emails from the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said:

Iran's reckless actions showed a blatant disregard for the Albanian people, severely limiting their ability to access essential public services.

The UK is supporting our valued partner and NATO ally. We join Albania and other allies in exposing Iran's unacceptable actions.

The NCSC assesses that Iran is an aggressive and capable cyber actor. Cyber ​​operations are likely to be conducted by a complex and fluid network of groups with varying degrees of connection to the Iranian state, whose workforce is most likely a mix of departmental and contract staff.

These cyber attacks are the latest in a pattern of increasingly reckless behavior by Iran. Cyber ​​actors linked to Iran have at their disposal a number of powerful disruptive and destructive tools. The UK has previously attributed and advised of a number of cyber incidents by Iranian actors:
