Cybercriminal Twins Caught After They Forgot to Turn Off Microsoft Teams Recording

Twin brothers Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter pleaded guilty to deleting 96 government databases after being fired by federal contractor Opexus.

A Microsoft Teams call from the termination meeting accidentally recorded them discussing revenge, and the transcript later surfaced in court records.

The case underscores how workplace chat and meeting logs can become key evidence in cybercrime cases.

It also highlights the risk of insider sabotage after employee terminations.
