Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, as it failed to learn about crimes the brothers pleaded guilty to in 2015, including wire fraud and conspiring to hack into the State Department \u2014 offenses committed while they were contractors for federal agencies. The federal government contractor nonetheless maintains it conducted seven-year background checks before hiring the brothers in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Opexus fired them in February, minutes before they <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/muneeb-sohaib-akhter-government-contractors-insider-attack\/\">allegedly stole and destroyed government data in retaliation<\/a>. The background checks were \u201cconsistent with prevailing government and industry standards with additional requirements for more sensitive work. That said, we fully acknowledge that additional diligence should have been applied,\u201d a spokesperson for Opexus told CyberScoop. <\/p>\n<p>Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter were arrested in Alexandria, Va., Dec. 3 for allegedly committing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/two-virginia-men-arrested-conspiring-destroy-government-databases\">series of insider attack crimes during a weeklong window<\/a> in February that ultimately compromised data from multiple federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, Internal Revenue Service and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. <\/p>\n<p>Opexus said it decided to terminate the twins\u2019 employment upon learning of their prior criminal history, but it did not explain how it became aware of their previous crimes nor what prompted a deeper look into their past. The brothers\u2019 previous crimes were widely reported at the time, including details that are readily available via search engine queries on their respective names.<\/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>The Washington-based company, which provides services and hosts data for more than 45 federal agencies, admits it made multiple mistakes in the hiring and termination of Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs with the onboarding, the terminations were not handled in an appropriate manner,\u201d the company spokesperson said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile these individuals passed background checks at the time, this incident made clear that our screening protocols needed to be even more robust,\u201d the spokesperson added. \u201cWe have since enhanced our vetting processes and implemented additional safeguards designed to strengthen the protection of the systems and information we manage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muneeb Akhter allegedly accessed Opexus\u2019 computer network five minutes after he was fired. Within an hour, he allegedly deleted 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 that evening 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<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Opexus said it later addressed errors it made, which failed to ensure the twins could no longer access company computers and systems under its care immediately upon their termination. The spokesperson said the company took \u201cappropriate corrective actions and reinforced training across the human resources function to ensure strict adherence to our standard operating procedures going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company said it took other measures in response to these insider attacks that are designed to prevent similar outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe individuals responsible for hiring the twins are no longer employed by Opexus, and we have since strengthened our screening protocols across the organization,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cThese enhancements include expanding our standard background check to 10 years, along with additional safeguards that are now embedded into our standard hiring process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opexus also said it supported customers impacted by the internal breach by helping them restore data and providing resources and subject matter expertise for their internal reviews. \u201cThe security of our customers\u2019 information is our No. 1 priority, and we remain committed to continuous improvement in our hiring, compliance and internal controls,\u201d the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n<p>The company said it\u2019s grateful for law enforcement\u2019s actions on this matter, adding that it appreciates that Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter are being held accountable for their alleged crimes. <\/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>Sohaib Akhter faces up to six years in prison for password trafficking and conspiracy to commit computer fraud and destroy records. <\/p>\n<p>Muneeb Akhter is charged 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><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"2.9083601286174\">\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\/opexus-claims-background-checks-missed-red-flags-on-twins-accused-of-insider-breach-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.
