A UK court on Thursday sentenced two young men to prison over a 2024 cyberattack on London's public transport operator that exposed the personal data of millions of customers in one of Britain's largest data breaches.
Thalha Jubair, 20, from east London, and Owen Flowers, 18, from England's West Midlands, were each sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison at Woolwich Crown Court in London.
The pair pleaded guilty last month to hacking Transport for London’s (TfL) network between 31 August and 3 September 2024, gaining access to the names and contact details of around seven million customers.
