Analysis Summary
Twin brothers Sohaib and Muneeb Akhter, who worked for a federal contractor, deleted approximately 96 databases containing US government data within minutes of being fired from their positions. The databases serviced 45+ federal agencies and included FOIA request documents. One brother was convicted of 'calculated abuse of trust and access' and faces up to 21 years in prison — this is a straightforward cybersecurity incident well-documented by multiple outlets including Ars Technica and SC Media. The case illustrates the security risk posed by terminated employees who retain system access, and revealed the contractor had hired individuals with prior felony convictions.
