Unidentified hackers have attacked the popular online portal, Balkanweb, making it inaccessible to thousands of its readers at home and abroad for several hours during the early morning hours of 10/10/2023. Despite this setback, the BalkanWeb team has managed to resolve the issue, ensuring that once the site is up and running again, readers will be able to access the latest news and updates both from Albania and around the world.
