Owen Flowers and Thalha Jubair were convicted for their roles in the attack, which led to large costs for Transport for London. Two men who carried out a cyber-attack which crippled Transport For London (TfL) when they were teenagers have both been sentenced to five years and six months in prison. Owen Flowers, 18, from Walsall, and Thalha Jubair, 20, from east London, pleaded guilty in June to carrying out the hack in 2024. They were described as computer-obsessed loners who carried out the hack as part of the cyber crime collective known as Scattered Spider. The cyber-attack disrupted TfL's online services for months, stole the personal data of millions of people and left all 27,000 TfL employees needing to reset their passwords in person. The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the rise of young hackers in the UK as one of the biggest threats to the nation's cyber security. Flowers was 17 and Jubair was 18 when they hacked into the capital's transport authority at 1700 on 31 August.
