From Sophos Naked Security:
Twin prodigies-turned-hackers face long jail terms after pleading guilty
Twin brothers - one of whom set himself up for a visit from Homeland Security by boasting to a colleague at his new security job about jacking up the value of gift cards - have pleaded guilty to a series of schemes that involved stealing credit card information, breaking into State Department computers and filching data from a private company.
Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, 23, of Springfield, Virginia, pleaded guilty on Friday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
