Twin brothers wipe 96 government databases minutes after being fired | Hacker News

Twin brothers were accused of wiping 96 government databases just minutes after being fired from a contractor handling sensitive systems.

The incident underscores the danger of giving a small number of employees broad administrative access to critical systems.

It also raises concerns about whether offboarding controls and credential revocation were handled quickly enough.

The case highlights the need for tighter access management, system segregation, and rapid termination procedures.
