NATO has reacted to the recent cyberattack that targeted the Parliament of Albania, raising concerns about cybersecurity threats against state institutions. The attack has been attributed to the hacker group Homeland Justice, which authorities believe is linked to Iran.
In a statement, a NATO representative said the Alliance supports a free, open, peaceful, and secure cyberspace for all nations and citizens. The official stressed that countries must respect their international obligations even when operating in the digital domain.
NATO also urged all states to follow the international framework for responsible state behavior in cyberspace, endorsed by all United Nations members. The response comes amid growing concerns over increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks worldwide.
