Two British men, Thalha Jubair and Owen Flowers, plead guilty in London’s Woolwich Crown Court to charges linked to a major cyber-attack on Transport for London (TfL) in 2024. All outlets report that the pair are linked to the “Scattered Spider” hacking group and entered guilty pleas under the Computer Misuse Act. The attack targeted TfL’s network and disrupted services for millions of people, including users of the Oyster card system. Sources describe the hacking as occurring over a period in late August into early September 2024, with dates and ranges varying slightly between reports (including windows such as 29 August to 3 September, and up to 6 September).
