Two members of the Scattered Spider cybercrime group, Thalha Jubair (20) and Owen Flowers (18), pleaded guilty to hacking Transport for London (TfL) systems in August–September 2024. The attack caused £29 million ($38.3M) in damages, forced all 28,000 TfL employees to reset passwords in person, and resulted in customer data theft from the Oyster refunds system. Evidence seized from Flowers' home included a laptop with screenshots of TfL infrastructure access and videos of Jubair breaching systems. Sentencing is scheduled for July 16. Flowers is also linked to intrusions at two American healthcare organizations.
