Summary
In mid-July 2022 destructive intrusions disrupted Albanian government services and the Total Information Management System (TIMS) used at border crossings, claimed via the 'Homeland Justice' leak site. Albania severed diplomatic relations with Iran in September 2022, and subsequent vendor reporting (Microsoft, Check Point, Mandiant) attributed the destructive component to the MOIS cluster now tracked as Void Manticore / Storm-0842, with initial access handed off from Scarred Manticore.
