## Resource

Two British teens, Thalha Jubair and Owen Flowers, just 20 and 18, got 11 years total for orchestrating a massive cyberattack on London’s transport system in 2024 — costing £29 million to fix. They pleaded guilty before trial even began, admitting to hacking TfL and later two U.S. health nonprofits, with Owen caught by U.S. authorities mid-spree. Judge Mark Turner sentenced each to 5.5 years, calling their actions reckless ego trips with devastating real-world fallout — a chilling warning that online mischief can cripple public services and lives.
