TIRANA, Sept 10 /ATA-By I.Vata/ – The Ministry of Interior confirmed Saturday that Albania’s Total Information Management System (TIMS), was subject to a new cyberattack and work is underway to restore the system and make it fully operational.
In a press statement, the Ministry of Interior clarified that “last night, the State Police’s data storage and transfer systems were under a cyberattack, similar to the one against the e-Albania portal in July. Preliminary data show that the attack has been launched by the very same hand.”
The Ministry of Interior underlined that the system is currently inoperable and work is underway together with the partners to restore the system.
“Our experts, together with experts from our partner countries, are working intensively shortly after the attack was detected to primarily ensure that the data are not compromised and then neutralize this criminal offence. For safety reasons, our systems, including TIMS, have been temporarily shut down until danger is fully averted. The TIMS system will be restored very soon,” the Ministry of Interior said in its statement.
