A hacker group tied to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has taken responsibility for a cyberattack that disrupted digital services in Tirana, Albania’s capital. The attack targeted the city’s municipal website, marking the latest Iran-linked hack disruption in a growing pattern of hostile cyber activity against Albanian infrastructure.

Authorities have not disclosed the full extent of the damage, but the breach hindered access to public services provided through the city’s online platform. This incident adds to a series of similar operations linked to the same threat actors, raising concerns over the country’s digital security and resilience.
