Its targets include not only Israel but at least one NATO member
at their country’s embassy in Tirana, Albania’s capital, bundled sensitive documents into a barrel and set them alight in the early hours of September 8th, reported Reuters. They were in a rush; a day earlier, they had been given 24 hours to leave. Hours later local police stormed into the empty mission. The episode was a dramatic culmination of an Iranian cyber-offensive weeks earlier; it highlights Iran’s central role in a series of swirling cyber-conflicts.
On September 7th Mr Rama said he was severing ties with Iran. “This extreme response”, he said, “is fully proportionate to the gravity and risk of the cyber-attack that threatened to paralyse public services, erase digital systems and hack into state records, steal government intranet electronic communication and stir chaos and insecurity in the country.” It is the first time any country has ended diplomatic relations in response to cyber-aggression.
Iran’s cyber-attacks against Albania pale in comparison with the skirmishing under way with Israel. The two countries are fierce rivals, sparring over, which is expanding rapidly once more, and the activities of Iran-backed armed groups in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. That sparring is often violent and also, increasingly, digital.
