Contractors with hacking records accused of wiping 96 govt databases

U.S. prosecutors have charged two Virginia brothers arrested on Wednesday with allegedly conspiring to steal sensitive information and destroy government databases after being fired from their jobs as federal contractors.

Twin brothers Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, both 34, were also sentenced to several years in prison in June 2015, after pleading guilty to accessing U.S. State Department systems without authorization and stealing personal information belonging to dozens of co-workers and a federal law enforcement agent who was investigating their crimes.

Muneeb Akhter also hacked a private data aggregation company in November 2013 and the website of a cosmetics company in March 2014.

Cyber, AI & Critical Infrastructure Convergence Risks

By Chuck Brooks

By Chuck Brooks, president of Brooks Consulting International

Federal agencies and their industry counterparts are moving at a breakneck pace to modernize in this fast-changing digital world. Artificial intelligence, automation, behavioral analytics, and autonomous decision systems have become integral to mission-critical operations. This includes everything from managing energy and securing borders to delivering healthcare, supporting defense logistics, and verifying identities. These technologies are undeniably enhancing capabilities. However, they are also subtly altering the landscape of risk.

The real concern isn’t any one technology in isolation, but rather the way these technologies now intersect and rely on each other. We’re leaving behind a world of isolated cyber threats. Now, we’re facing convergence risk, a landscape where cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data integrity, and operational resilience are intertwined in ways that often remain hidden until a failure occurs. We’re no longer just securing networks. We’re safeguarding confidence, continuity, and the trust of society.
