Albanian Media Cyber Attack

A significant cyber attack has targeted the online media outlet Citizens Channel in Albania, raising alarms about media freedom and access to independent information. The assault began with the removal of the outlet’s posts from Facebook, flagged as “spam content” in what is believed to be a coordinated effort. Subsequently, the outlet experienced a suspected Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on its website, further compromising its operations and integrity.

Safe Journalists Albania has voiced concern over the compromised profile and security of Citizens Channel, emphasizing the broader implications for media freedom in the country. The attack signifies a worrying trend of shrinking space for quality independent journalism, with propaganda and censorship tactics becoming more prevalent. The consequences are particularly severe for outlets like Citizens Channel, which rely on reaching niche audiences and face challenges in regaining lost ground following coordinated attacks.

Legal and digital security experts stress the need for thorough investigation into such organized cyber attacks and call for solidarity and technical support for affected media outlets. Additionally, there is growing scrutiny on the role of large online platforms like Facebook/Meta in censoring legitimate material and undermining freedom of expression. Amidst concerns over deteriorating press freedom in Albania, international watchdogs and the European Commission highlight the urgent need for reforms to protect journalists and safeguard media pluralism in the country.
