Summary
Two teenage hackers, Owen Flowers and Thalha Jubair, are set for sentencing after admitting guilt to a massive cyberattack on Transport for London that cost £39 million and forced 28,000 staff to reset passwords in person. The breach exposed Oyster refund data, disrupted youth photocard applications, and was part of their work with the notorious Scattered Spider group — previously targeting Jaguar Land Rover and M&S. Evidence included a laptop linked to TfL’s network and videos of Jubair accessing systems. Flowers also confessed to hacking U.S. healthcare giants SSM Health and Sutter Health. Their trial, now wrapped, will see sentencing begin Wednesday at Woolwich Crown Court. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
