Hmmmm:

> After their stints in jail, the brothers worked their way back into the tech world. In 2023, Muneeb got a job with a Washington, DC, firm that sold software and services to 45 federal clients; Sohaib got a job at the same company a year later.

How were they able to to easily work their way back into somewhat sensitive job, considering how much US companies make a big deal out of employing people with a criminal past?

> The plaintext password of an individual who submitted a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Public Portal, which was maintained by the Akhters’ employer...Sohaib Akhter conducted a database query on the EEOC database and then provided the password to Muneeb Akhter.

Why were the passwords being kept in plain text??
