The hacker group Homeland Justice, associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, has launched a cyber attack on the Albanian capital Tirana, claiming it is a reaction to the hosting of 3,000 Iranian dissidents in the country. The attack brought municipal services to a standstill, and the hackers said this is just the beginning, emphasizing the link between their actions and Albania's support for the Iranian opposition.
