Two British teenagers have pleaded guilty to carrying out a cyberattack on Transport for London (TfL), according to multiple reports. The attack, which took place in 2024, disrupted TfL systems, and prosecutors describe it as a major incident. Bloomberg and the BBC report that the defendants entered guilty pleas while still teenagers. Other outlets, including The Guardian, describe the case as involving a £39 million figure tied to the cyberattack. The reports also describe admissions by the cybercriminals about targeting TfL’s computer network and causing significant operational impact. In addition, one report notes that a teenager connected to the hacking attempt is sought by U.S. authorities after an alleged £87 million cyber-scam, though that detail is presented as separate from the TfL guilty pleas covered in the core coverage. Separate reporting by the National Crime Agency is cited as part of the case narrative. Across the outlets, the common elements are the guilty pleas by two young suspects, the 2024 TfL incident, and the magnitude of costs and disruption described by authorities.
