TIRANA, Albania — Albania’s Interior Ministry said Saturday that one of its border systems was hit by a cyberattack that came from the same Iranian source as an earlier attack that led the country to break diplomatic relations with Iran.
Albania, a NATO member, cut diplomatic ties with Iran and expelled its embassy staff this week. It was the first known case of a country cutting diplomatic relations over a cyberattack.
Microsoft, the FBI and other cyber experts helped Albania following the July attack.
The U.S. government on Friday imposed sanctions on Iran’s intelligence agency and its leadership in response to the attack on Albania.
