The National Cyber Security Authority highly values the decision of the United States Department of Justice to seize domains used by Iranian state-sponsored actors to conduct cyberattacks and distribute sensitive data related to critical and important information infrastructures.
This action represents an important step in countering these activities and confirms the shared commitment to addressing state-sponsored cyber threats. The “Homeland Justice” platform has been used as one of the tools to carry out such attacks, including those targeting digital systems in Albania, with the aim of destabilizing systems and undermining national security. From 2022 to 2026, a total of 9 cyberattacks linked to these actors have been identified, while thousands of other attempted attacks against systems in the country have been successfully prevented by the National Cybersecurity Authority.
The Republic of Albania has maintained a clear and firm stance against these activities, designating Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism in response to cyberattacks and hostile actions carried out against our country.
The National Cyber Security Authority expresses its appreciation for the continued support of the United States and their role in strengthening capacities to address cyber threats affecting our country. The strategic partnership between Albania and the United States remains essential for enhancing security and addressing these threats in a coordinated manner.
The National Cyber Security Authority remains committed to further strengthening defensive capacities and ensuring a secure digital environment for the institutions and citizens of the Republic of Albania.
