UK prosecutors and investigators report that two members of the Scattered Spider hacking collective—Thalha Jubair and Owen Flowers—are sentenced to five years and six months in prison each for a cyberattack on Transport for London (TfL). The attack occurred in 2024 and disrupted services used by thousands of commuters, according to the reporting. Both defendants pleaded guilty last month, on the day their trial was due to begin. The National Crime Agency (NCA) and police describe the incident as part of the broader activity of Scattered Spider, a cybercrime group. The outlets state that the disruption led to an estimated £29 million cost to TfL, covering operational and response impacts. Prosecutors’ accounts focus on the harm caused to public transport operations, while additional reporting emphasizes that the arrests of the two individuals disrupted the group’s activity. After entering guilty pleas, the court imposed the same prison term on each defendant. The coverage is consistent on the identity of the defendants, the length of the sentences, the victim organization (TfL), and the reported scale and cost of the disruption.
