Iran's cyber attack on Albania last year is suspected to have been a "symmetric response" of Iranian hackers to the activity that the MEK organization from the Manza camp was carrying out against Iran.
Such a fact results from the decision of the Special Court, where on page 5 it is evident that during the year 2022, Albanian institutions were affected by several cyber attacks which have brought disruptions to the daily activities of the State Police structures and the institutions of various criticisms.
This cyber attack is suspected to have been carried out by Iranian intelligence structures due to the fact that Albania hosts a significant number of members of the "MEK" organization, who are practically the opposition of the Iranian regime. The Mujahedin, who turned out to have set up a cyber center in Manzë,
In the file that SPAK is investigating, for the criminal offenses "provocation of war", "illegal interception of computer data", "interference in computer data" and "misuse of equipment", the attack on the Foreign Ministry of Iran, made public on May 7, 2023. Officers of Unit C in the state police in Tirana, cite in the report submitted to SPAK, the notices published on the Internet that the hacktivist group "Uprising until the revolution", linked to the opposition group based in Albania, Mujahedin-e Khalq ("MEK"), released hundreds of identification documents, minutes of meetings, ministry correspondence, telephone numbers of ministry officials and the names of 11,000 foreign ministry employees.
According to the hacker's Telegram channel, all ministry-related sites such as Islamic Republic of Iran embassies and organizations were targeted. After taking control of the pages, the hackers placed pictures of MEK leaders, as well as pictures of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenel and President Raisi with a red cross. The hackers also posted the slogans "Death to Khamenel", an open call against the regime in Iran, and "Farewell to Rajavi", in support of the current leader of the opposition group, says page 3 of the Court's decision on the controls in Manza.
"Shqiptarja.com" reports that the cyber activity of the MEK and its related groups, according to SPAK, has been massive. The Uprising to Overthrow group, in June 2022, hacked over 5,000 security cameras of state bodies and 150 websites belonging to Tehran Municipality, displaying similar slogans on websites and releasing internal data. The hack followed another cyber attack in March on the portal of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance (Ershad) and related websites, showing photos of Rajavi and calling for the death of Iran's supreme leader.
The prosecution's file cites that the MEK has made ongoing efforts to hack the Islamic Republic's correspondence with European officials to finalize a prisoner swap deal with Belgium that would release imprisoned Iranian diplomat Asadollah Assadi in exchange for Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele. MEK launched a fierce campaign against the deal, challenging extradition.
