Currently at the Kapshtica border point is working at a slow pace.
Even at the Kakavia border, the system has been operational since 2: 00 a.m.
Meanwhile, at other border points in our country -- in Qafe Thana, Vlora and Durres -- the system continues to be blocked and for entry and exits from the country are being used manual registration, on paper.
A day ago, Iranian-sponsored hackers targeted the T system. IMS that serves to register access to border checkpoints.
Soon thereafter, the system's shut down protocol was followed so as not to give hackers an advantage, in taking control of this system, the most important for Albanian police.
Attempting to Control T System The IMS, with the final aim of paralysing police work at Albanian border points, occurred just hours after the US Treasury Department declared sanctions on the Iranian Intelligence and Security Ministry and its minister, on charges that they are responsible for cyberattacking Albania.
The US accused Iran of involvement in cyber activities against the United States and its allies, while sanctions include blocking property of officials and ministries held accountable.
