Found out who the hackers who attacked Albania

Iranian media have published photos of four people reportedly responsible for the cyberattack on Albania.

According to Iran International, they are authors of several global cyber attacks and are linked to various government intelligence agencies in Tehran.

The most recent case of a cyber devastating attack, attributed to Iranian intelligence operatives, was an intervention of hackers into the Albanian government's computer systems, which began in 2021 and ended with a massive break in July, according to Microsoft's security investigations. Information was stolen and public services were cut off by Iranian hackers, because Albania hosts an opposition group, writes Iranian media.

Last week, Albania severed diplomatic relations with Iran and expelled its diplomats.

According to information received from the cyber security firm Backdoor, the cyber-war leader of Iran Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) is a person identified as the 61-year-old Lashkarian Hamidre (Lashgarian), with a residence in Tehran, a university professor. He has a history of involvement in different IRC intelligence operations against commercial navigation and other illegal activities.

Last year, a group called Sayad Project was targeting Albania's capital airport, Tirana. A cyber anti-Iran group called Lab Dooktegan or Read My Lips discovered the identity of the person who directed the cyberattack like Mohammad-Bagher Shirinkar.

His nickname is Mojtaba Tehrani, sanctioned by the United States for his connection to IGRC.

His brother, Mhammad-Hosseen Shirinkar, is also one of the main actors in Sayad Group. He is said to be head of the IRC Intelligence Inspectorate, according to Lab Dooktegan.

Another operator is Mehdi Hashem Töraliard, who is brother - in - law to the Shirincar brothers. He is also sanctioned by the US and general director of a digital company in Tehran. /Euronews. al
