A government contractor hired twin brothers who were convicted felons. A year later, they regretted it.

A detailed report of 2025–2026 criminal activity by twin contractors Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter who, after termination from Opexus, used their access to delete approximately 96 government-related databases (including 33 during a virtual termination meeting), removed about 1,805 files, caused outages and permanent data loss for government systems, and attempted to conceal activity (including consulting an AI about clearing logs). The document covers indictments, guilty pleas and convictions, Mandiant’s investigative findings, and the operational failures that allowed the damage.
