Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, now both 34, had been in trouble before. Back in 2015, the brothers pled guilty in Virginia to a scheme involving wire fraud and computers. Muneeb was sentenced to three years in prison, while Sohaib got two.

They had a track record and found employment in government IT

HR should've been fired for that fuckup.

No. A case study against employing known criminals.

Don't know how it works in US, but in most of EU you're obligated to notify the employee about termination of work agreement like a month in adavnce. In case of IT revoking access that early would mean effectively month of paid leave.
