Ars Technica: In comedy of errors, men accused of wiping gov databases turned to an AI tool

US DOJ: Two Virginia Men Arrested for Conspiring to Destroy Government Databases.

On February 18, 2025, at approximately 4:58 p.m., MUNEEB AKHTER issued commands that deleted a DHS production database containing U.S. government information. The database was hosted on a Company-1 server in the Eastern District of Virginia.
On February 18, 2025, at approximately 4:59 p.m., MUNEEB AKHTER asked an artificial intelligence tool, “how do i clear system logs from SQL servers after deleting databases.”
On February 18, 2025, at approximately 5:14 p.m., SOHAIB AKHTER stated aloud, “They’re gonna probably raid this place,” to which MUNEEB AKHTER replied, “I'll clean this shit up.” SOHAIB AKHTER responded, “We also gotta clean stuff up from the other house, man.”
