U.K police said on Thursday that the jailing of two teenage hackers has “severely” hampered the activities of the infamous cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider.
Owen Flowers, 18, and Thalha Jubair, 20, pleaded guilty earlier this year to hacking Transport of London (TfL), the government body overseeing the U.K. capital’s public transit system in 2024. The two were sentenced to five years and six months in prison on Thursday.
