What Happened

Owen Flowers, 18, and Thalha Jubair, 20, were each sentenced to five and a half years at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday, 16 July 2026, for the 2024 hack of Transport for London.

The attack left 148 TfL systems inoperable and forced all 27,000 of the transport authority's employees into an office to get their passwords reset in person. Both the NCA and the CPS put TfL's losses and recovery
