It's in the article, Albania hosts a group of Iranian dissidents. Maybe the Iranian 'intelligence' thought it was a great idea to perpetrate a cyberattack on Albanian government websites and services, as this would somehow convince the Albanian government to extradite them to Iran? Instead their diplomats got kicked out of the country.
About the dissidents Albania is hosting:
"It was during 1988, the regime carried out its worst atrocity ever, when Khomeini ordered the deaths of 30,000 dissidents, mainly belonging to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), who were fervent opponents of his regime, having turned against him when they realized he was replacing one dictatorship for another."
