Federal Contractors Delete 96 Government Databases After Firing
9.0
Prosecutors say twin brothers Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter were indicted on Nov. 13 after allegedly deleting 96 government databases within minutes of being fired on Feb. 18, including systems tied to Homeland Security and FOIA records. Court documents assert the siblings used an AI tool to obtain commands to clear SQL and Windows logs. The indictments charge multiple counts including computer fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Key Points
- 1Deleted 96 government databases within minutes of termination, including Homeland Security and FOIA-related systems.
- 2Allegedly used an AI tool to instruct clearing SQL and Windows event logs, hindering forensic traces.
- 3Highlights insider risk and access-control failures; practitioners must revoke credentials and monitor privileged sessions immediately.
Scoring Rationale
Significant official indictment and large-scale deletions raise urgent risk awareness, but limited technical novelty beyond AI-assisted log clearing.
