Two Hackers Sentenced for Disrupting London Transit | Tech News

Two teenage hackers, Owen Flowers and Thalha Jubair, just got five years and six months behind bars for crippling London’s public transit — a massive blow to the notorious cybercrime group Scattered Spider. Their attack took down ticketing and real-time transit info for weeks, costing £29 million, and gave them near-total control over the system. Known for social engineering, Scattered Spider has hit giants like MGM and Okta — and the FBI says Jubair was linked to over 120 attacks. This arrest marks a major win in the fight against sophisticated cybercrime. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
