Opexus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers are no strangers to law enforcement, the hacking community and government contract work. They previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-edva\/pr\/twin-brothers-guilty-wire-fraud-conspiring-hack-state-department-and-private-company\">pleaded guilty in 2015<\/a> to wire fraud and conspiring to hack into the State Department and other crimes while they were employed as contractors for federal agencies. Muneeb Akhter was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/twin-brothers-sentenced-wire-fraud-conspiring-hack-us-department-state-and-private-company\">sentenced to 39 months in prison<\/a> and Sohaib Akhter was sentenced to 24 months in prison at that time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>An investigation aided by more than 20 federal agencies and specialized units alleges the brothers were back at it a decade later, committing cybercrime with privileged access and technical expertise gained from their employment at a government contractor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese defendants abused their positions as federal contractors to attack government databases and steal sensitive government information,\u201d Matthew R. Galeotti, acting assistant attorney general with the Justice Department\u2019s Criminal Division, said in a statement. \u201cTheir actions jeopardized the security of government systems and disrupted agencies\u2019 ability to serve the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muneeb Akhter is accused of deleting approximately 96 databases storing U.S. government information hosted by Opexus, including sensitive investigative files and records related to Freedom of Information Act matters, prosecutors said in an indictment. <\/p>\n<p>Muneeb Akhter also allegedly deleted a Homeland Security production database, copied more than 1,800 files belonging to EEOC and stole copies of IRS records including personally identifiable information on at least 450 people. <\/p>\n<p>Authorities also accused Muneeb Akhter of using an artificial intelligence tool for assistance throughout his alleged conspiracy, querying the tool for advice on how to clear system logs from SQL servers after deleting databases and how to clear all event and application logs from Microsoft Windows Server 2012. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Prosecutors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia charged Muneeb Akhter with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and destroy records, two counts of computer fraud, theft of U.S. government records and two counts of aggravated identity theft. He faces a mandatory minimum penalty of four years in prison for identity theft and up to 45 years in prison for the other charges. <\/p>\n<p>Sohaib Akhter is accused of trafficking in a password that could access an Opexus computer used by EEOC. He faces up to six years in prison for password trafficking and conspiracy to commit computer fraud and destroy records. <\/p>\n<p>The brothers allegedly cleaned their residence in anticipation of a law enforcement raid and wiped their employer-owned computers by reinstalling the operating system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal contractors who abuse their positions will be held accountable for their actions,\u201d Joseph V. Cuffari, inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement. \u201cThe actions of individuals like Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter are threats to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full indictment below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.0125208681135\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/twins-with-hacking-history-charged-in-insider-data-breach-affecting-multiple-federal-agencies-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
