Cyberattack disables Albania’s TIMS border-control system
A cyberattack against Albanian State Police information systems led authorities to disable TIMS border-entry and exit processing in September 2022. Border checkpoints used manual registration, resulting in queues and processing delays; service returned progressively. Albanian officials attributed the attack to Iran, but no specific actor was independently identified.
