Opexus, a software provider for nearly all U.S. federal agencies, experienced a significant cyber breach in February involving two employees with a history of prior convictions for hacking. Investigations by Opexus and an external cybersecurity firm revealed that the twin brothers, Muneeb and Suhaib Akhter, exploited security shortcomings to access sensitive government documents and tampered with databases, including records from the IRS. This incident underscores the risks associated with insider threats and the critical need for robust security measures in organizations handling sensitive government data.
A software company that handles sensitive data for nearly every US federal agency was the victim of a cyber breach earlier this year due to a "major lapse" in security measures.
The investigations found that the employees, twin brothers Muneeb and Suhaib Akhter, improperly accessed sensitive documents and compromised or deleted dozens of databases.
