Data released by the National Cyber Security Authority (AKSK) indicates that Albanian information infrastructures were subjected to a significant volume of malicious activity during the first half of 2026. Specifically, the authority recorded over 14.6 million attempted cyberattacks against the nation’s digital assets between January and June. The total figure of 14,628,595 recorded attack attempts suggests a high level of persistent threat activity, translating to an average rate of approximately 56.4 attempts per minute throughout the six-month period.
The cyberattacks were not uniformly distributed across all sectors. Analysis of the recorded incidents showed that 54% of the attempts were directed against essential information infrastructures, while the remaining 46% targeted critical information infrastructures. The scope of the cyberattacks spanned several vital national sectors.
These included the financial system, public administration services, and broader digital infrastructure components. The consistent targeting across these diverse areas underscores the breadth of the threat landscape faced by Albania’s digital ecosystem. The data serves as a quantitative measure of the sustained pressure on the country’s cybersecurity defenses.
The figures highlight the scale of the coordinated efforts undertaken by malicious actors, necessitating continuous vigilance and adaptation of protective measures across all levels of national digital governance.
