Virginia’s Not-So-Innocent Twins: A Tale of Rehired Wreckers and Digital Deceit
Two Virginia brothers, Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, are back in hot water after allegedly hacking government databases post-firing. Their encore performance includes charges of computer fraud, destruction of records, and stealing sensitive information. They might be in for a long prison encore if convicted.
Hot Take:
When it comes to career choices, these Virginia brothers took the “twin” theme a bit too seriously. From hacking to rehiring, they’ve turned their government-contractor gig into a high-stakes game of cyber whack-a-mole. Who knew sibling bonding would look like a “how-to” guide for cyber sabotage?
Key Points:
- Virginia twins charged with conspiracy to steal sensitive data and destroy government databases.
- The brothers have a history of computer-related crimes and were previously sentenced for similar offenses in 2015.
- Despite past convictions, they were rehired as government contractors, only to face new charges.
- Allegations include deletion of 96 databases, IRS data theft, and using AI to cover tracks.
- If convicted, they face significant prison time, with Muneeb facing up to 45 years.
