Two teenagers, Thalha Jubair, 19, and Owen Flowers, 18, are accused of hacking into Transport for London (TfL) systems and causing disruption that has been described in reporting as a £39 million cyberattack. The reports say the accused accessed TfL servers and, during the intrusion, searched for and browsed through information related to celebrities.
According to the provided accounts from the same outlet, the alleged activity included using the compromised access to look up well-known public figures. The reporting characterizes the incident as both a breach of TfL’s network and an attack that affected the organisation’s operations.
The articles focus on the alleged motive or behaviour during the intrusion—specifically the celebrity-related browsing—rather than detailing technical methods or the full timeline of the incident. Both defendants are reported as teenagers accused in connection with the cyberattack on TfL.
